Glen Hansard on Bruce Springsteen
Glen Hansard on Bruce Springsteen
Olaf Tyaransen
By: Olaf Tyaransen

American rock legend Bruce Springsteen was at the absolute zenith of his commercial success when Glen Hansard first laid eyes on him in the flesh. Even so, the distinctively red-haired Dubliner barely recognised him at the time.
