He says, I'm insular by nature and don't let new people in casually.

And even though it may have been uncomfortable, it's one of the best decisions Bruce made in his entire life.

And it's also when he's working on Born to Run that he meets Jimmy Iovine.

They're still friends to this day.

And this is the other side of his life.

He is no longer going to be unknown.

He says from here on in, it was going to be a lot more complicated.

Born to Run was the dividing line.

But listen to his reaction to this.

This is wild.

This is his most important album.

And all he could see were the flaws to the point where he almost didn't want to release it.

This is also why I think Jimmy Iovine has this great advice that he trained himself.

He had brought the finished master out on tour, but to hear it, the two of us had to go to a stereo store and beg them to let us use one of their record players.

I stood in the back of the store fretting, hemming and hawing as the record played.

Jimmy's eyes plastered to every look on my face, begging, please just say yes and let it be done.

Jimmy, John, and Mike got crazy, but I still couldn't release it.
