This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Clean living will do that by knutesteen
Not your typical rock star in terms of substance use. A legendary bootleg from 10/2/75 in Milwaukee, at the long defunct Uptown Theater, involved a bomb threat, as an unusually intoxicated Bruce said while drinking at a bar during the bomb threat break to the bartender "are you loose?" and he continued to make that comment on stage after the show resumed at midnight. The linked article says it this way: "Springsteen and company took the stage, appearing well lubricated, a fact that remains notable to this day, as the temperate Springsteen has never been seen to be drunk onstage at any other time."
The length and energy of his shows was already well established by early in his career. The ability to continue to do that in his 70s is due to his not living the stereotypical rock and roll lifestyle.
