Bruce Springsteen has written many songs over the years, but he said that only one touches on his relationship with his paternal grandparents. His grandparents played a major role in his life; he shared a house with them in his earliest years. The song was an emotional ode to childhood days with his grandparents, but it went unreleased. He said that he just didn’t think it was very good.
Bruce Springsteen wasn’t impressed with a song he wrote about his grandparents
Springsteen spent his earliest years in Freehold, New Jersey, in a house on Randolph Street. He lived in the home with his parents, grandparents, and younger sister. He described the house as tipping increasingly into disrepair.
“Our house was old and soon to be noticeably decrepit,” he wrote in his book Born to Run. “Our kerosene stove in the living room was all we had to heat the whole place.

In the late 1970s, Bob Dylan began releasing music with overtly Christian themes, a development that made John Lennon roll his eyes. Lennon was once an avid Dylan fan, but by this stage of his life, his respect for the other musician had cooled considerably. He even wrote a song to mock a Dylan tune he hated.

In 1979, Dylan released the album “Slow Train Coming,” his first of three Christian albums. Lennon said he found Dylan’s embrace of religion surprising, though he didn’t want to comment on it.

Stevie Nicks made many well-loved music videos with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. When looking back on some of them, though, she can’t help but cringe. Some remind her of the messy relationship dynamics she had with her bandmates. Others are tough to watch because of the reminder of the drugs she was using at the time. She explained that the video for “I Can’t Wait” makes her furious with her past self.
