Bruce seems like a pretty humble guy, so I don’t imagine he demands the E Street Band call him this. I’ve searched for “Springsteen” and “The Boss” in all the GQ threads from the past two years, nothing comes up. Anyone know?
I thought it was something his band started calling him.
The funniest one is calling Frank Sinatra “Ol’ Blue Eyes.” It was concocted by a publicist/ad writer for a comeback tour, and now it’s accepted as if people had been calling him that forever.
