He looks soooo good!!!! And he’s wearing jeans!!!!!!! I also love that when everyone else has their phones up recording, Em is watching and taking in the moment and enjoying it in real time, not worried about capturing it on film. Love this amazing man. And is outfit is , as always understated no trying to draw attention to himself cause it’s Dre’s day. And he’s there to support him. And of course, has to flip the bird to the crowd.

AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU (OUTTAKE. THE PROMISE)
This appealingly goofy frat-rock track had little chance of making any Springsteen album-the fact that he actually mentions Iovine by name in the lyrics, apparently praising his fashion sense, makes that clear. Iovine says the nod was inspired by his habit of visiting Bloomingdale's, the upscale department store, before the day's sessions. "I'd go with a friend of mine and we'd look at the girls in the makeup section, you know," he says. "Bruce would say, 'Where ya been?' I got a bag in my hand the whole time, right? I said, 'I went to Bloomingdale's. He said, 'What's Bloomingdale's?' I said, 'It's a shop, Bruce, they got all this stuff. I bought this shirt today. And he just put it in his song."
--Brian Hiatt, Bruce Springsteen: The Stories Behind the Songs

Q: Aug. 26 will be your first time in Asbury Park in 15 years. How are you feeling about getting back to the city, and do you have any particularly fond memories of playing the city in the past?
A: Are you kidding me? I can’t wait to get back there! Those were great times for me. You know I came back east in '74 and really needed to make music. People may not know it, but I never wanted to leave rock 'n' roll.
Let me tell you (a) little story of how I got to Asbury Park in the first place. I am walking down the street in New York City, mid-'70s and I hear this voice yell out, “Hey Ronnie, Ronnie Ronette,” so I turn around and it’s John Lennon. I actually met John the first night we landed in the U.K. in January '64. Anyway, John asked me how am I doing, and I tell him, "Not good, I need to make music." John said he was busy being a house husband taking care of his son, but introduced me to his engineer, Jimmy Iovine (Walls and Bridges).
That night, Jimmy invited me down to the Record Plant where he was working with a band from Jersey. When I walked into the studio, I met Little Steven (Van Zandt), who was producing Southside Johnny. And (Bruce) Springsteen was there, too, and right on spot Bruce re-wrote a song for me and Johnny to sing as a duet, “You Mean So Much to Me Baby.” They were all excited when I showed up, and more excited when I started to sing. I was surprised they knew me.
After that I started hanging out in Asbury Park with the guys, doing shows at the Stone Pony and all over the place. The second part of my career really started in Asbury Park. Those guys treated me like a sister and really helped me get back to what I loved doing, rock 'n' roll. They always looked out for me, and would never let me get into any trouble!
Q: Forty years ago, you partnered with the E Street Band for “Say Goodbye to Hollywood.” What are your memories of working with the band on that classic single?
A: I was going back and forth to L.A., so the times in the studio with Bruce and the boys were great. The times in L.A. were very difficult for me. Everyone was working hard to find the right song for us to record. And of course Billy Joel, who wrote "Hollywood," used to open up for the Ronettes on Long Island in the '60s when he was in the Hassles.
I also loved the ‘B’ side which Little Steven wrote for me. Those guys were like big brothers to me. It’s the only record outside of their work with Bruce where they are credited as the E Street Band. I look back and really appreciate those days. Not one memory, lots and lots of them, so much fun and a sense of freedom for me which I desperately needed. The guys were great and exactly what I needed at that moment in my life.

“[bruce] would just pick up the guitar look straight at the floor or at us and say again…again…again…again… now, you do that for fourteen hours you can really, really mess with somebody’s mind. i had a piece of wrigley’s spearmint gum, took the gum out of the wrapper and i chewed on the aluminum foil. the pain was so severe that i knew it would wake me up.” — jimmy iovine on recording born to run

Picture of Em at Jimmy Iovine’s birthday party. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It may just be the lighting but it looks like Em has some silver in his beard which given we had a picture of him outside I don’t think he does but if he is entering his silver fox daddy period I am so totally here for it. Sexy af, am I right? And the chain (whimper, gulp) and the t-shirt paying homage as always to his hip hop roots. God, I just love and just adore this man.
