love this video - I had to look up how old he is now - but wow he was very sexy with his moves back then

I think he’s very attractive but a really bad dancer. I cringe at his dancing in that, as do his kids ( apparently) 😂

Pedallleur · 15/08/2021 22:01

That was just the video with a young Courtenay Cox. His guitar playing did all the right moves. He was early 30s with superstardom beckoning and there is still a host of signs at his gigs requesting a dance.

bunnybuggs · 15/08/2021 22:03

Maybe it is my biased view but his moves are not really dancing - more an accompaniment to the singing. I know nothing about what makes a good dancer Confused
it is such a feel good song makes me wich I was young again - as he was !

I saw him twice in concert not long after this video came out. I thought he was the most beautiful man I had every seen. I still do think he’s very talented.

If you are Bruce Springsteen and your kids are embarrassed, not much hope for the rest of us!

PuppyMonkey · 15/08/2021 22:07

Hopeisallineed · 15/08/2021 22:09

I think all kids are embarrassed of their parents at some point, even if you have a super star parent.

Clearly that should say 'USA'

What an introduction to live music! I was 17 and had no idea who Bruce was, just went with a friend! But wow

And Clarence was fab!

Mydogisagentleman · 16/08/2021 06:36

He is a proper unit.
I’ve seen him several times, his energy is phenomenal.
Me, DH and DD went to se him in Coventry a couple of years ago. She was reluctant at first, and Embarba mum nd dad dancing.
She soon got into it herself

@LagneyandCasey

He dances like he's shat himself
🤣🤣 Harsh but fair. I don't get and never understood the appeal and love for Bruce Springsteen. He's not physically attractive, as you rightly point out dances like he's in that last bid desperate stage of getting out the car and running up the stairs trying not to shat himself.

Worse thing you can do is let your brain tell your bladder and arse you're back home now it begins this desperate fight and if someone is in the bathroom - that's it. All over. You've shat your pants and doing a Springsteen.

CallMeNutribullet · 16/08/2021 07:32

The Boss is still a fine looking man

Hopeisallineed · 16/08/2021 08:03

@PinniGig opinions on attractiveness are highly subjective but think you will find a huge amount of people who disagree with that statement especially as he has most recently been voted ‘sexiest singer alive’. 😁

Yeah I know - I'm not saying either way but for me he just doesn't appeal and I don't get it.

I don't get a lot of things the general population goes nuts for to be honest. Sure I read somewhere quite recently that Bruce Springsteen admitted himself having written and rehashed the same songs with just minor chord variations / changes and had got by one that but wasn't complaining.

That's fair shout. He's still a shit dancer though. 🤣

Hopeisallineed · 16/08/2021 08:21

Yep, I can’t argue with that bit. 😂

TonkaTrucker · 16/08/2021 08:27

He is sexy AF

BorderlineHappy · 16/08/2021 08:29

Wow Bruce didnt know you had it in you.That pic is scorchio.

But to me the hottest celeb from wayyyyyyyyy baack then is Billy Idol.

Shower scene,i wouldnt mind being his loofah.
