Li'l Springsteen story: My buddy Jim was on staff at Record Plant when Patty Scialfa recorded Rumble Doll in '93. Bruce came in for a day and was super-friendly to everyone. Fast forward to 1999 and my buddy Jim is visiting a friend at Staples Center, which is opening that night with Bruce and E Street headlining. Jim walks past the stage, where there's a roadie noodling on guitar. Jim walks past the roadie and he says "Hi, Jim." Springsteen tuning his own guitar before the first show at Staples Center, remembering the name of the mix tech on his wife's album six years previous and saying hello. I've never heard a bad thing about the man.
