In truth though, sharing the stage with McCartney was likely to be enough to satisfy The Boss’ wildest dreams, a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with one of the men who helped plot his life path. Springsteen made the revelation to Rolling Stone in 2020, “‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’ came on the radio in 1964 — that was going to change my life because I was going to successfully pick the guitar up and learn how to play.
John Lennon, in his latest interview for the US magazine Rolling Stone, spoke, among other things, of Bruce Springsteen and did what, evaluated in hindsight, has every air of being a real prophecy.
Here's what John Lennon said about the Boss in that latest interview: “God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he's no longer a God. I've never known him, but I've heard a lot about him. Right now, his fans are happy. He told them about getting drunk, chasing girls, cars and all. But when as he gets older he faces his own success and has to perpetuate it again and again, they will turn to him and I hope he will outlive him.
Recently Paul McCartney welcomed surprise guests Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt onstage during his Madison Square Garden show for two performances of the Beatles’ classic After playng Please Please Me.
Following the performance, McCartney walked up to the microphone and announced, “I reckon we gotta play it one more time,” before counting off and launching into “I Saw Her Standing There” in full again
This is going to be a night full of memories for me,” Paul McCartney said in a social media post before concert at Madison Square Garden in New York
