Dylan praises Springsteen

The USA Today newspaper published yesterday an interview with Bob Dylan. The artist talks about his new and excellent new album Modern Times, comments on the current state of pop music and has time to praise Bruce with these words:

«The performers who changed my life were individuals,» he says. «They didn’t conform to any sense of reality but their own. The last performer who stood up to be counted as an original is Bruce Springsteen, I think. Individuals move me, not mobs. People with originality, whether it’s Hector, Achilles, Ted Turner or Jerry Lee Lewis or Hank Williams.»

Dylan alaba a Springsteen

Con motivo de la publicación, hoy, de su excelente nuevo álbum, «Modern Times», Bob Dylan ha concedido una entrevista al periódico estadounidense USA Today, donde critica el panorama musical actual y, a la vez, alaba a Springsteen como «el último músico original».

En la entrevista, Dylan comenta: «Los músicos que han cambiado mi vida eran todos solistas. No se ajustaban a ningún tipo de realidad más que la suya propia. El último en destacar y ser tenido en cuenta como un artista original es Bruce Springsteen, creo. Los solistas me motivaron, los grupos no. Gente con originalidad, ya sean Hector, Aquiles, Ted Turner, Jerry Lee Lewis o Hank Williams».

Su opinión sobre la música pop actual queda también muy clara: «El ritmo que la gente toca hoy, eso está tan lejos del verdadero ritmo como el sol de la luna. Esos ritmos sirven para que la gente pose, pero no la conmueven ni cambian su vida. Son vulgares y anticuados, y en eso se ha convertido la música pop. Incluso los metales se hacen pesados».

Mensaje de Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen publicó ayer en su página oficial un comunicado desmintiendo los recientes rumores sobre problemas matrimoniales. Un mensaje muy claro que no deja lugar a dudas:

«Dudo sobre usar este sitio web para temas personales porque creo que debe seguir siendo un lugar donde los fans de mi música llegan, libres de las distracciones que ocasionalmente aparecen con motivo de mi trabajo. En todo caso, y con motivo de los rumores infundados e inquietantes que han aparecido en la prensa en estos últimos días, he creído oportuno no dejarlos sin réplica. Patti y yo hemos estado juntos durante 18 años – los mejores 18 años de mi vida. Hemos creado una familia fantástica a la que amamos y queremos proteger, y nuestro compromiso mutuo se mantiene tan fuerte como el día en que nos casamos».

Bruce & Patti sing at Red Bank antiques store

Despite the recent rumours published in the New York Post, and quickly spread worldwide in numerous publications, Bruce and Patti were seen together last friday at the Antiques Center shop in Red Bank, New Jersey, with no signs at all of «trouble in paradise».

Redbankgreen.com publishes the story as told by Judy Barnaby, a shop’s employee who’s been friends with the Springsteen’s for over 20 years. The couple were buying antiques in the store for a value of over 3,000$ and even sang for a few minutes after grabbing and old guitar and a mandoline, which they later dediced to buy. According to redbankgreen.com:

«the couple was holding hands, and laughing with dealers and customers as they shopped for about an hour». «I got a hug from Patti, and I told her I was very happy to see that they were back together,» says Barnaby. «She said, ‘Isn’t this the pits?’ referring to the coverage. She said, ‘Isn’t it ridiculous? My friends are more upset than I am.’ «Several of the dealers said the same thing to them—that they were sorry to see what was in the papers. But (Springsteen and Scialfa) said it was ridiculous.» «The rumor’s not true, from the horse’s mouth,» says Barnaby. «They were holding hands and kissing and carrying on. They weren’t any different than they have been in the past 20 years. They were their old selves. They enjoyed themselves, and they took their goodies and went home.»
