http://www.bigozine2.com/MP309/BSglaston/BSglastonFr.jpgSpringsteen is still after The Dream - songs like Badlands, Prove It All Night, Outlaw Pete and Out In The Street are themes for the man in Main Street - where life is tough and doesn’t seem to get any better. But for Springsteen’s rock-as-salvation, there is always Hope (Working On A Dream, Promised Land). But the road is always perilous - The River, Born To Run and Thunder Road - and the result, which might be unreachable but certainly ideal, ends in Glory Days and an American Land.
But just to check himself, as Springsteen sings, “Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true or is it something worse?” - is that why he is whistling and Dancing In The Dark?
All these is nothing new to those who have followed Springsteen through the years, he has been singing about The Dream from way back when. But for Obama, cutting through the bull seems awfully hard - God knows how his hands are tied before any decision is reached but like anyone who voted for Obama last November, they are still Waiting On A Sunny Day.
To mark his first ever performance at Glastonbury Festival, US rock legend Bruce Springsteen gives a rare interview. By Steve Lamacq Published: 7:00AM BST 27 Jun 2009
In a recording career spanning 36 years and worldwide album sales of more than 120 million, New Jersey rock singer Bruce Springsteen has established himself as one of the most enduring and distinctive voices in music. Recently reunited with his celebrated backing group, the E Street Band, he plays tonight for the first time ever at the Glastonbury Festival, and tomorrow at Hyde Park in London. To mark his Glastonbury debut, he gave this rare interview.
Steve Lamacq: After 40 odd years of playing live, your first Glastonbury Festival.
SL: What do you know about Glastonbury?
BS: That it's very special – very close to the English heart.
SL: You've said that this is the second golden age of the E Street Band...
BS: The band plays better today than it's ever played before. You get to a certain point and you realise it's finite. Nobody is going to be doing this forever. So the enjoyment you get is of just being there with your friends, in front of that audience. We're already seeing an audience that's going to outlive us.
SL: Have you noticed how the influence of your music is probably more evident now than it has been for years?
BS: Shortly after we got back together we started to see a whole new influx of fans, and see our influence on other groups. And that's nice. You want to try to have done your job well enough that you pass some of that inspiration down.
SL: The set that you're doing at the moment has one or two of your slightly older, darker songs in it.
BS: We try to reflect a little bit of what's going on out there, particularly at home. We're very conscious of the very, very hard time people are having. It comes in cycles – although I'm nearly 60 and I haven't seen it so bad.
SL: So is there room for another record reflecting what's going on now?
BS: I don't really set out with a concept like that in mind. You listen to the music that's sort of bubbling up inside of you. I've tried to take a certain topic and write a certain song, and it's always very stilted.
SL: For the people who've never seen you before, can you sum up the E Street Band experience?
BS: We just come out, pull out all the stops and go for the throat. We always try to lift you emotionally and spiritually. I've had an experience through music that has touched almost every part of me. It educated me in ways that I didn't get educated in school. So we try to lay on a bit of that, through being funny, being serious, playing hard.
SL: As you mentioned, it is the big 6-0 this year…
BS: [Laughs] Yeah, it doesn't seem that big a deal any more. The band is so vital right now that it's a link with when I was 35 or 25. It's all in the doing. It's in the going out every night and honouring the fans that have come out to see us be great. Which is what we try to be on a nightly basis.
SL: Well, tonight we shall see you do that in a big field in Somerset.
BS: I heard the weather is always bad. But it's all right – we're not afraid of a little rain.

THIS version is a FM capture from the complete italian radio broadcast with just 70mis highlights of the show. The BBC could have the full set stored somewhere...
Notice:
as in italian radio customes, the DJ speaks a lot in-between songs. And I mean a lot.. Her purpose is to introduce every song with bits of band's bio and translations. It may gets VERY annoying, and trust me it does, thus we might consider this recording only for completists. But the songs, the actual music, are not spoken over in the middle of them. That used to happen too. Or you could think that it's so damn exotic having someone speaking in an unknown language in your boot!
