Had an hour home commute after watching the new Springsteen movie and this was quite literally the best thing to accompany me home

Tom is genuinely a creator that I think about often and see myself in. We both grew up in Nottingham, and earlier this year my whole life was flipped when I lost my first longterm relationship. He’s also introduced me to Bruce Springsteen and having a greater passion for music and getting off of social media and being in the real world. when he posted his “loneliest time of my life” square video, i was on a train by myself for the first time ever at 17, travelling home to nottingham from cambridge, after just losing my boyfriend and all of my friends. tom and his passion makes me feel seen
esme
this actually made me emotional, made me miss my dad back at home man
Cat Reyes Shields
My dad is a big Bruce fan and this makes me want to listen to his music so we can talk about it

i watched this and then immediately downloaded born to run to listen to on my flight tomorrow :D before now i’ve only ever properly listened to the song born in the usa, but both my parents are massive springsteen fans so i passively listened to a lot of it growing up. it’s time to lock in fr

Arnika Fairwilde
i just made a wonderful coffee in case anyone gaf, one of my personal bests
Hismario123
Great talk, genuinely. I've always been a bit of a passive Bruce fan. His version of Dancing in the Dark on the Broadway album though just brings me to tears though, man. What an incredible version of that song. I've had a similar obsession with Jonathan Larson and Bo Burnham as of recent, both trying to find the connection between the two artists (purely based on the fact that they both wrote songs about turning 30, 30 years apart), and trying to learn more about Jonathan Larson's Superbia. And my god after listening to it, it really changed everything. I can't stop thinking about it. I have like a 20 page document that's full of just the BASICS of both Jonathan Larson and Bo Burnham. One day, I'd like to really sit down and write everything down but that'll take some time. Can't wait for future Tom Talks! (especially the Sam Fender one, The Dying Light and Nostalgia's Lie are fuckin incredible)
Joshua Corbett
Dude I listened to a few of his songs they are pretty good I’ll definitely look at more of his discography later
Audinary
Tom got me into Bruce through this podcast he has been the soundtrack of my life for the past year so thanks for that Tom I couldn’t have gotten through this year without his music :))

Finn Ward
This is the most autistic thing ever
John Hege
Perfect! I was really hoping Tom would follow through on this. As someone who grew up in NJ, and being so familiar with Bruce and Asbury Park and all that, it's been interesting seeing Tommy learning all about it. My work day just got a little better.
Lauren
