Bruce Springsteen was a guest on last night's episode of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon". He didn't perform, but he and Fallon did talk about Springsteen's 1980 album The River, which was recently reissued as a box set The Ties That Behind: The River Collection. The Roots also performed a brief cover of Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" in the style of the Ramones, for whom the track was originally intended. Watch that and interview excerpts below.
"We handed in a single record first," Springsteen says of The River original release. "And I panicked after we handed it in, and I took it back. It didn't feel like quite enough. So I took it back and spent another year, in tears, making the double album. I shed man-tears."
Springsteen went on "Fallon" last year, as well, and played a "Born to Run" parody. He and the E Street Band will embark on a North American tour next year. Springsteen is scheduled to perform on "Saturday Night Live" this Saturday, December 19.
