Bruce Springsteen has no interest in fame?

Bruce Springsteen has opened up about fame.

The rock legend, who first rose to success with his Born To Run record in the 1970s, told The Sunday Times that he experienced fame at 25.

Springsteen said, “Well, I was 35. I had previous experience [of fame] at 25, so I was capable of handling the moment. Ninety per cent I enjoyed the ride, 10 per cent of it was stressful, and my take on it now is that it was a cool thing to be at the height of the cultural conversation in the pop world for a while.”

“I just didn’t have any particular interest in staying there. That’s a fool’s game,” he added.

“Of course, and I was lucky enough to have Elvis, the Beatles and Bob Dylan, to follow in their footsteps — or not follow in their footsteps,” Springsteen said.

He went on to say, “From there I learnt how important it was not to lose focus on who I am or the work I’m doing. It’s more important than the money, although it’s great to get paid well.”

“It’s more important than the fame, although that can be fun too, and a nuisance on occasion. I simply wanted to write great songs, play great shows and have a conversation with a great audience. It is what I’ve dedicated my life to doing,” the Rock legend noted.
