Irish American 'Boss' Bruce Springsteen speaks out on failure to deal with his depression

An outstanding book from basically poverty to excellence. Immigration!! Is that not what this country was built on? Mom and Pop stores, no Walmarts, Targets, etc,etc. Being half amerindian and Irish (Father, bless his soul, and I still thank God everyday for him) I'm proud to be both!!

Moreoever, what race/taxonomy is "british?" LOL

@anglonorman “The Irish in Ireland are are mixed-breed mongrels yet if you called one of the British-Irish,Danish-Irish, or anything else they would object strongly” Genetics has proven indisputably that they are one of the most homogenous peoples in the world (along with the Iberians and Welsh). Troll.

All I know is that back in the 80s when I wanted to kill myself, I would sit in my room and listen to THE BOSS! I palyed Darkness over and over, and Bruce did save my life. Thank you Bruce. My whole family, relatives and all absolutely love you. I don't think that anyone has been to more concerts than my brother Ed and my cousin Richie. When my cousin Eddie did kill him self very young his brother Richie sat and listened to Eddie'd whole Bruce collection for solace. That is saying alot. We love you, and we are glad that you are taking care of yourself. and US! Catherine

If I ever had the chance to thank him in person, I would tell MR Springsteen that his willingness to go through his hell and use it to create music with , that let others know they were not alone in their heel, was at one point in my life the ONLY thing that connected me with hope. The first 4 albums saved me when I was in my hell, because he went there with me, and then, through the music itself, took me (and us) out. Thank you forever.

Thanks Bruce. What this world needs is more awareness of mental illness. Speaking from experience I believe it is both a blessing and a curse to have a parent who is mentally ill. People who want to make it shameful are the root cause of a lot of the ills in society. It takes a lot of courage to work through it. Your music is food for our souls.

The Irish in Ireland are are mixed-breed mongrels yet if you called one of the British-Irish,Danish-Irish, or anything else they would object strongly.

Irish-American??? Grow up ffs

Bruce Springsteen is Irish American? That is news to me. Of course IC makes "Everybody" Irish.

bruce turned his man-card in years ago.

Big deal. What's all the whining about? That's mild stuff.
