Met him at a Barnes & Noble in Manhattan @ Union Square about 20 years ago. I said "I'm surprised to see you here". He said "everyone's gotta be somewhere". He gave me an autograph, and he couldn't have been nicer. SPZ.
He stole that line from Paul McCartney "Everybody's got to be somewhere. " Bruce Springsteen is the personification of everything that is wrong with the music industry. He took songs from me. He put his name on them. He claimed that he wrote them and he did not pay me for them. Bruce Springsteen is a Song Shark. My name is Eric Heine I live in Glen Ellen California. The world deserves to hear the truth.

Like good old wine. The best wine! Getting better and better with age! Of course I never met him. Of course we never spoke a word. But deep in my heart. One of my best friends for all these years.
I provided these lyrics to Bruce Springsteen in 1982. I wrote them in the summer of 1976. My sleep cycle was 180° out. I was 17 years old. I was trying to write a novel but I came to the realization that I hadn't been alive long enough to have anything to say. My father took me aside and he spoke to me. He said I was too young to know what love was. That I hadn't figured out the difference between emotions, sensations, and feelings. He knew I'd been having indiscriminate sex and doing drugs. My father said I know you think you're having fun but you're Dancing In The Dark. That's where the title came from. The line "This gun is for hire" came from an old television show called Paladin. "Sit around getting older" was a restatement of the Beach Boys line "Wouldn't it be nice if we were older." Bruce our agreement was that if you use the lyrics you would pay me for them depending on how good they are. The time has come to pay me Bruce. Please stop singing the song as though you know what it is about- it's just not that deep. Stop hamming it up. You will never be a poet laureate. My name is Eric Heine I live in Glen Ellen California. Bruce Springsteen took these lyrics from me. My standing agreement with Bruce since the time I was fifteen in 1974 was in Bruce's words "I will take the songs and I will pay you if I use them depending on how good they are." Bruce is a "Song Shark." Please find me and pay me Bruce keep your word. Keep the promise. The truth will eventually out. I want the world to know.
Just remember he is human just like you and me.he has problems, shortcomings, he is not perfect and money doesn't by happiness its what you do with the money that can lead to happiness.
I provided Bruce Springsteen with lyrics in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1982 I was 15, 16, 17, and 23 years old respectively. Bruce promised to pay me if he used my lyrics depending on how good they were. Bruce has never kept his promise. He made millions on songs I wrote. One-time Steven Van Zandt gave me eight tickets to watch them work at the Oakland Coliseum in 1982 on September 23rd it was an Amnesty International concert. Bruce had to work on his birthday. Yes in many ways I'm sure Bruce is a great guy my personal experience with him has been that he is a rip-off. Bruce doesn't keep his word and ge has a weak handshake.
Since his interview in Rolling Stone and his overbearing arrogant response to the expensive tickets, he's dead to me! I was a huge fan for thirty years!
Too bad he isn't a bit better at the guitar he could've really did some interesting things with the actual music to this song besides 3 chords and capo.
Trust me, that was intentional to keep the mood intimate. You obviously don’t know him very well because you would know he’s one of the best, most underrated guitar players in rock ‘n’ roll.
What an odd performance.......it was almost like he was drunk or high on something.😒 I love when artists take a "band" song, strip it down to basic essentials, and do it solo with just an acoustic.....but this didn't quite cut it.
Bruce before you die you grow old and must put back everything you stole. How can you live without a conscience and call yourself whole? You must acknowledge what is wrong and try to make it right. What are you?
Rather ironic for Springsteen to be parroting the idiotic US love affair with wars and trained killers after making a fortune copying the likes of Pete Seeger via singing a bunch of anti-war songs. Supporting the troops cannot be separated from the illegal, corrupt and horrific wars they are sent to fight. Supporting the troops only acts to encourage American exceptionalism, imperialism and its horrific war crimes. And it makes Springsteen an utter hypocrite and shameless sell out. The irony of him and his audience "dancing in the dark" is completely lost on everyone.
@@bridgetriley8242you're right! I love that slight movement he makes with his left shoulder, he always has. That movement, to me, means Bruce. He's still great on stage.

This is stunning. Just one man. One guitar. The Boss.
yes Bruce is the giant of rock music who keeps his feet on the ground
I appreciate the way he is
This song was used for the RTE (Ireland) coverage of the World Cup in 1986 and I still remember it. Epic. 35 years ago, and Bruce is still going.
Fantastic!!! Thank you Bruce Springsteen.!!!
This man just keeps getting and better, like a fine whiskey. Love this acoustic version. Thanks Bruce!! 💙
Oh my. His voice is so passionate. I love this man.
This is a great way to start your weekend. Yes it’s true you have a gift called Magic in your fingertips. Thanks for this version.
My six year's old daugther loves him...well when music its good no matter the time
Protect this man at all costs!! What a legend
Leg End, anyone who supports Biden is no LEGEND
Keep him from driving drunk and he should be fine

OH ! acoustic version ！
His voice is aging just like wine.
#THANKGODFORGOODMUSIC
Is Bruce Springsteen going to pull Courteney Cox up on the stage just like in the video ?That was the coolest part.
That's American there legend
Anyone know the chords he’s using for this?? Looks kinda like a “C”, “G”, “D”, “Em”??
does anybody know chords he is doing
The incomparable.
🎩🙏🤝
Hurry up Boss - get to Australia!!!
MEU CANTOR PREFERIDO.

Love him but he should see the performance of Jorgen Dahl Moe in The Voice Norway 👍
He wrote the song. That’s just someone with a good voice singing someone else’s song.
Bread Financial is getting their moneys worth on this one
💃🕺😎 🌝
He aged well
Since his interview in Rolling Stone and his overbearing arrogant response to the expensive tickets, he's dead to me! I was a huge fan for thirty years!
I’m sure he will be proper upset about your comments,
1:18 - [@@] HE IS SAYING "DESIGN" .../ ..
we are all getting older, still got to say, 'this gun is for hire"
This is extremely horrible. He's clearly struggling and just wants this to end. Got through because of the artist he is, that demands respect.
Too bad he isn't a bit better at the guitar he could've really did some interesting things with the actual music to this song besides 3 chords and capo.
Trust me, that was intentional to keep the mood intimate. You obviously don’t know him very well because you would know he’s one of the best, most underrated guitar players in rock ‘n’ roll.
Brilliant! ❤
It would be better without the audience shouting and whooping, why not just listen. FGS.?.
You have no clue
What an odd performance.......it was almost like he was drunk or high on something.😒 I love when artists take a "band" song, strip it down to basic essentials, and do it solo with just an acoustic.....but this didn't quite cut it.

What are you?
He could move his capo a few places......
So Bruce just took lyrics from a kid from Sonoma California and gave him nothing. That's really low Bruce.

Sorry but not good- he needs the rest of the band for this to work🤔
The others were probably having a nap…
Its time he retired, he sounds like a shadow of his glory days,,
I hope he never retires . Sexiest man alive ❤

Dec Hannigan: what?
Kinda sounds like an old man going thru the motions. Easy money.
@@thomasrudy6132 You have a tin ear.
He can sing what he records and play it live and it sounds wonderful if not better..😄😃😀
I hear some acts live and they are horrible
👏👏👏 Superb ! 👍👍👍
God I don’t see it
WOKE BRUCE , TURNED ON HIS COUNTRY , WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING ?
oh boo hoo.
@@piscesloveempress HE SUCKS ANYWAYS
He can't sing anymore
