"We're having fun! One, two…" Apple TV has released the teaser trailer for Bruce Springsteen's Letter to You, yet another new Bruce Springsteen documentary film coming up (in addition to Western Stars from last year). Bruce Springsteen's Letter to You captures Springsteen recording "Letter To You" live with the full E Street Band, and includes final take performances of ten originals from the new record. Written by Springsteen and directed by his frequent collaborator Thom Zimny (Western Stars, The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash, Springsteen on Broadway), the film is a tribute to the E Street Band, to rock music itself and to the role it has played in Springsteen's life. Throughout the film, Springsteen shares his thoughts and feelings behind "Letter To You" and puts the new music into the context of his entire body of work. In that way, it's the next piece in the autobiographical series that began with the memoir Born to Run, continued with Springsteen on Broadway and with his film Western Stars. It looks like more good vibes with Bruce.
First teaser trailer for Thom Zimny's documentary Bruce Springsteen's Letter to You, from YouTube:
A tribute to The E Street Band, rock 'n' roll, and the way music has shaped Bruce Springsteen's life, this documentary captures Bruce reflecting on love and loss while recording with his full band for the first time since Born in the U.S.A. Bruce Springsteen's Letter to You is directed by Bruce Springsteen's frequent collaborator / filmmaker Thom Zimny, who has been working with Bruce for decades; he has also directed music docs including The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Ties That Bind, Elvis Presley: The Searcher, and also The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash previously. "Letter To You" is Bruce Springsteen's first studio album recorded live and together with the E Street Band since 1984's "Born In The U.S.A.” Both the album and companion documentary include recently-written Springsteen songs side-by-side with legendary but previously unreleased compositions from the 1970s. Apple will release Zimny's doc Bruce Springsteen's Letter to You streaming on Apple+ starting October 23rd this month. Want to watch?

Good old Bruce. Can live with his music, can't live without it. At least in my case ...

Pretty hard to write his kind of music when you have millions in the bank, but he does his best.

John Steinbeck came from a well-to-do family, and he wrote "The Grapes of Wrath", which won the Pulitzer. It's called being a writer.

Well, a songwriter. He's won Grammys, an Oscar and a Tony.

True. They're all excellent in what they do. I also must admit, 'The Grapes of Wrath' is a great book...
