Today we’ve spent our time at the National archive of Recorded Sound and Moving Images<\/strong>, looking through some news broadcasts and TV shows.<\/p>\n

We found some newsfootage of people in line for tickets outside Konserthuset in Stockholm in 1981 and 1985 and there were also pictures from the ticketdrop in Gothenburg 2002.<\/p>\n

In a program called Magasinet<\/strong> from November 3rd 1988, wellknown swedish journalist G\u00f6ran Rosenberg, went to Freehold to check out how the inhabitants reacted to the closing of 3M-factory and how they would vote in the upcoming election between George Bush Sr and Michael Dukakis. A very interesting programe with quite a few Bruce references.<\/p>\n

Then we looked at a very sweet portrait of Nils Hilmer Lofgren<\/strong>, broadcasted June 7th 1985. We were amazed by Nils’ acrobatic skills, a video showed him doing backflips, handstands and turning cart wheels while playing the guitar… The man has talent! We could also follow Nils on a visit to his swedish relatives in V\u00c3\u00a4rmland, among them Lars L\u00f6fgren, former head of the Royal Dramatic Theatre.<\/p>\n

A more bizarre presentation was the program \u00c4ntligen en vit \u00e4lg <\/strong>(Finally a white moose) from 1993. It featured wellknown swedish TV personalities like Harald Treutiger, Ulf Elfving and Jens Orback in an overcrowded studio. Among pictures of rubberboats in the moat at Kalmar Castle, interviews with all kinds of people, live music with some unknown band and a short version of Antique’s roadshow, there suddenly was a glimpse of Springsteen’s concert at Stadion. We could to our surprise see the most part of Better Days and Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

After looking at the BBC documentary Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen <\/strong> we could enjoy another funny translation of a Springsteen song. This time it was a few lines from TV Movie that caught our attention.<\/p>\n

My wife rolled over and told me
\nThat my life would be immortalized
\nNot in some major motion picture
\nOr great American novel, you see
\nNo, they’re gonna make a TV movie out of me<\/strong><\/p>\n

Had become:<\/p>\n

Men d\u00e5 sa min fru i s\u00f6mnen
\natt mitt liv skulle bli legend
\nnu har det blivit storfilm
\nen sann amerikansk dollarsucc\u00e9
\noch nu ska det bli
\nen tv-film om mitt liv <\/strong><\/p>\n

Next round of interviews will be made in four weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
