Bruce fans share their glory days

Few musicians create a more emotional reaction among their fans than Bruce Springsteen.

Many of them look at him as a combination of role model and best friend. That emotional connection is at the core of the new movie “Springsteen & I,” which was made by editing down hundreds of hours of crowdsourced video in which fans talk about their feelings about Springsteen and share stories about their encounters with his music, and sometimes Bruce himself. It also comes with plenty of live footage (some never before seen) from the Springsteen archive.
