Bruce Answers Questions at ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ Screening
The new Bruce film, Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, is almost here and its protagonist has been duly promoting it. At a recent advance screening of the film at the prestigious Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, Bruce sat and answered questions. As the credits rolled at film’s end, the audience gave it a standing ovation. But one thing Bruce said during the Q&A stayed with us. It’s so Bruce. When asked why he agreed to have a film of his life made, Bruce reportedly said because “I’m old and I don’t give a fuck.” When the E Street Nation Facebook group posted this, the comments were priceless. And, as Bruce wrote in “Badlands” in 1978, “poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything, I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got.” Forty-seven years later, his words still resonate.
