THE BOSS GOES PUBLIC FOR PBS!
Bruce Springsteen sits down for a rare TV chat about his new archive center — and yes, he's found something worth watching.
Remember when Bruce sang about "fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"? Well, the Boss apparently made an exception for PBS! According to Variety, Springsteen recently sat down with "PBS NewsHour" co-anchor Geoff Bennett for a half-hour conversation about the opening of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University — a repository housing his personal archives and a hub for music studies.
It's a big deal: the center marks a major moment for one of rock's most iconic figures, and his willingness to chat on public television shows the legendary rocker is ready to open up about his legacy. The interview gives fans an intimate look at the man behind the music and what he's preserving for future generations.
Meanwhile, Springsteen was among an all-star lineup paying emotional tribute to music executive Clive Davis at his funeral last week, The Hollywood Reporter reports. Joined by Barry Manilow, Alicia Keys, Dionne Warwick, Kenny G, and Jennifer Hudson, Springsteen was part of a moving celebration of the prolific mogul, who passed away at 94. It was a touching farewell to someone who shaped the careers of countless artists.
