One of the world’s rock icons, responsible for hits such as “Born in the USA,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “I’m on Fire” and “Streets of Philadelphia,” Bruce Springsteen revealed that he would be a “lazy musician” if it weren’t for his wife, the singer-songwriter Patti Scialfa.
In the special Bruce Springsteen: Backstage and Backstreetsproduced by ABC Newsthe music star explained the importance of marriage in his career. “I was executing my dad’s game plan when we started dating and started having kids, and Patti It really reoriented me,” he recalled (via People).
“I was a lazy musician, sleeping until 11 o’clock [da manhã]. The kids were up and going to school without me, and whatever Patti said one night was, ‘Well, hey, you don’t have to get up, but if you don’t get up, you’re going to lose. You will lose everything. Just get up and make pancakes tomorrow,'” he continued.
So the next day, Springsteen got out of bed at “6:30 in the morning,” and recalled that he was “awake, cursing, grumpy, walking down the stairs [e] I made pancakes.”
