Brian Fallon makes no secret of the fact that Bruce Springsteen is a core influence. Spend some time in his company talking music and the Boss will inevitably come up in conversation. They have performed together. They’ve hung out. They’re buddies.
The way Fallon speaks about him, it’s like they live over the fence from each other, or run into each other down Whole Foods when they’re out buying groceries. “I do, funnily enough. I see him all over the place!” laughs Fallon.
