He Told Bruce Springsteen "You Can't Afford This Signed Album" — But The Signature Was Bruce's Own

He Told Bruce Springsteen "You Can't Afford This Signed Album" — But The Signature Was Bruce's Own A rainy November afternoon in Greenwich Village. A seventy-two-year-old record dealer looked at a tired man in a worn work jacket and a flat cap, walked him to the bargain bin, and told him the signed first pressing of Greetings from Asbury Park was not for customers like him. He suggested a reproduction. He tried to show him the door. He had no idea he was talking to Bruce Springsteen. And he had no idea that the signed 1975 poster hanging behind his own counter, signed by Bruce and Clarence Clemons, had a message written on the back that he had never once turned over to read. A story about judging people by their coats, a son who stood in the rain all night, a father who never listened, and the six handwritten lines that brought them back together. ❤️ Like if you believe everyone deserves to be looked at in the eyes, not by their coat. 💬 Tell us where you're watching from. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is a dramatized retelling inspired by the lives and careers of Bruce Springsteen, Clarence Clemons, Adele Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Douglas Springsteen and John Hammond.
