Another Side of Bruce Springsteen

Last month, Bruce Springsteen was in the news for doing Bruce Springsteen–type things. You probably heard about it from the Facebook boomer in your life, but here’s a quick recap: On May 14, he was on stage in Manchester, England, with the E Street Band. His hair was as gray as Alexander Hamilton’s, a sharp contrast with his bronzed skin and carved-in-granite, 75-year-old facial features. After extending the standard niceties about how pleased he was to be back in the U.K., he proceeded to provide a week’s worth of programming for stateside cable-news shows.
