When I first time heard his song "Street of Philadelphia" this song shocked me, nevertheless i didnt know English at all. I was looking for the singer and found his album at the tape. Thankfully his song I loved American music and even now two of my favourite is "Street of Philadelphia" and Hurt of amazing Johnny Cash. I grew up in Soviet Union and actually before hated everything that connect with U.S and was struck when heard that music 'cause so many soul in so deep it is. With love from Russia and KentuckY =)
He has been with me ever since I was about 20. I am now 58. And he's still with me. And he is still putting into words and music what my life is like. He's my friend.
There's a place for everyone in Bruce Springsteen's America. Very proud of you Boss. And even if I'm not from America I can feel his suffering and I thank him for putting music to the feelings that I'm sure everyone has felt at least once in a lifetime. Thanks Boss
'''I am the president, he is the BOSS.'' President Obama is just the best ever. He is such a class act. Congratulations to Bruce Springsteen and to all the 2016 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients. President Obama, the country desperately misses you already and you haven't even left office yet. God Bless you, our wonderful First Lady Michelle and your wonderful family. Viva Obama.
Ja'h'el Cathartes Aura I agree with you. Obama is the best. I couldn't be prouder of the guy. A real class act and a wonderful role model for America. Well said,
Yeah millions of jobs will be created and no businesses will leave once Trump is sworn in. There will be no more mass shootings, no more terror attacks and law and order will magically be restored in the U.S. The wall will be built and ISIS will be defeated quickly. Yawn.... Of course I won't be able to find you Trump loyalists a year from now...when he is imploding on the world stage and all hell is breaking loose. But hey, you blind sheep wanted your outsider and you got him. So what that he is a Reality star? Trump Train baby !! (roll eyes) Good luck with that.
The most sincere, passionate rock 'n roller ever. As a songwriter, he is America's collective conscience. As a live performer, he and the incomparable E Street Band take you through every emotion possible with all those great songs. Like no other artist, his music has gotten me through all of the high moments and low moments of life that exist. He and the E Street Band are a true American musical treasure. I wish they would last forever. God speed Bruce.
@@chop3625 not sure what country you're talking about pal, you must be thinking of that clown that was pretty much kicked out of the White House and lost the election by a landslide in reality.
Well done Bruce, we grew up in the 70's with you down here in New Zealand. The parties at University were loaded with your music - inspired us, made us happy, thoughtful. I was lucky to catch up with some of my 19070's uni friends and see him live in Christch NZ a few years ago. Thanks Bruce.
@@peggymicsky8607 no--Trump wasn't there yet. He only gives the awards to individuals who contributed mass amts of money to the RNC, hate mongers like Rush Limbaugh, etc

Yesss!! I remember this!! So well deserved!! I'm so glad President Obama awarded Bruce this very special medal! Congratulations again Bruce!! 🥰🥰💝💝🇺🇲🇺🇲☮️☮️🙏🙏💙💙🌊🌊😍😍💖💖💙💙
Bruce is one of the greatest singer/songwriters who’s ever lived, and he’s from New Jersey just like I am, it’s such a great place to be from because of people like him, LETS GO DEVILS!!!!
Ask Gadaffi how great of a human being Obama is. Oh, wait, you can't - because Obama had him slaughtered in the streets for trying to lift Africa out of the third world.
That’s how a president is SUPPOSED to speak. The guy didn’t even need a teleprompter. Minimal hand gestures, didn’t keep repeating the same basic words, e.g. beautiful, perfect, etc.
Bruce Springsteen, there is absolutely no way to fault this gentleman , a persona to aspire to. Irregardless of nationality, colour, creed, religion or whatever else. Bruce Springsteen is simply everyman.
I was once offered a free ticket to a Bruce Springsteen gig, pretty much at the 11th hour, but I turned it down as I was getting ready for a date that same evening. While things didn't work out, I like to think The Boss would have approved of my choice regardless.
I think Springsteen deserves it. he made beautiful songs and his lyrics give a good idea of what USA is in the last 30 years or so. I hope a new Springsteen will come soon, too. because USA might give the worse face now....I hope my prediction is wrong about USA, but when a president gives too much emphasis (and 💰 and power) to the military.. uhmm....American people...stay awake!
THIS WAS AN AWESOME MOMENT IN TIME. I LOVE PRESIDENT OBAMA WISH HE WAS STILL RUNNING OUR COYNTRY. WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT BRUCE. 1 OF THE NICEST PEOPLE I WVER HAVE MET. IM SO GLAD HE CAME FROM OUR STATE OF NJ. PRESIDENT OBAMA AN THE BOSS HAVE REMAINED FRIENDS FRIENDS. GOD BLESS U BOTH ❤
Streets of Philadelphia a single song that describes a whole film, powerful, moving and a song that I listen too most days. He is in my opinion the greatest singer song writer ever. But one piece of advice, do your tie up Boss.
@@kindnessfirst9670 Yes. When you force people to buy health insurance or be punished for it if you don't, that is a dictatorship in a socialist country.
@@ldogharycokanbalz6043 Wow, that makes most of the world and all our allies Socialist dictatorships. Someone really should let those countries know. Someone should let Trump and Republicans know too.

Don't Boo Vote Oh please. Obama is the worst excuse for a president in our nation's history. Charm is value-less. Results alone speak.

He's a child molester supporting piece of shit.
awww, Bruce looks adorably humble & sweet; soo handsome, smilin' away in his black suit. :)
Still makes me smile years later
Remember when America was great?
I'm seeing it now.
Was fine till this stiff got sworn in, hung medals & caused division. Such a legacy....
@@chop3625 not sure what country you're talking about pal, you must be thinking of that clown that was pretty much kicked out of the White House and lost the election by a landslide in reality.
For who?
I do remember. God and Country.
You cannot have 1 without the other.

@@happypickle244 Pathetic. If you're gonna make something up about a guy, at least try to make it vaguely believable!

Charles James he was 67 here, but currently he just turned 70!
the boss with a fan of his
Congratulations Bruce, for this medal you a musical icon. "Forever boss"
" I'm the President he is the Boss!!!"
Two excellent human beings.
Both very good liars I'm thinking.
@@glenphillips9068 No need to bring up Trump and Pence.
Ask Gadaffi how great of a human being Obama is. Oh, wait, you can't - because Obama had him slaughtered in the streets for trying to lift Africa out of the third world.
HAHAAHAH, half correct
VideoLad hahahahhhh are u insane?
Bruce he was and still an amazing singer what a talented star he deserved the medal of honor and freedom.
This is just heartbreaking to think of how far the USA has fallen from what was going on here (writing in summer of 2020).
When you have a room full of the greatest in their profession, the president and you're the boss...that says something
It's just a nickname.
@@videolad3057no shit
Obama is a war criminal just like any other american president.
@@whaperry11 Well, what does it mean that he's 'The Boss' when in a room with a president? He's certainly not in charge of the room, is he?
And an incompetent Do-Nothing!
My favourite! I love him SO much
I get never enough of listening to his truly unbelievable voice and songs 👍💪💪💪❤️🙏
I love Bruce! He so deserved that award! Rock on Bruce and the E Street Band! Look forward to hearing from you for many more years
Boss ...we love u..God bless u 🙏.
Thank u immensely for enriching our lives with ur meaningful songs 💋
The citation was Beautiful written.
Bruce you are my anthem.
That’s how a president is SUPPOSED to speak. The guy didn’t even need a teleprompter. Minimal hand gestures, didn’t keep repeating the same basic words, e.g. beautiful, perfect, etc.

was also the first American entertainer for years to do benefits for Vietnam vets when Vietnam vets were still viewed as baby killers
