Bruce Springsteen May Offer Fans Official Bootlegs
. "I think we live more in a touring idea that everything you do is recorded now," Springsteen tells NPR. "And that's OK with me, you know. As a matter of fact, I believe on this tour, we're starting to do something like you can come in, you can buy a [wrist]band, you can get a copy of the night's show. So hopefully we're gonna do that at a really nice-quality level." The notoriously controlling artist has opened up his mind to sharing material, especially online. "I think I'd like to get an archival series going in some way," he says. "I'd like to make things more available through the Internet. The Internet has become our friend, you know. We went to South America � hadn't been to South America in 25 years � we played for a lot of people. And I guarantee you very few of them had ever seen us before but I was shocked by how knowledgeable they were about the band. The first night we went into Santiago, Chile, and I realized after a few songs: "I got it. The Internet." In other words, if you're anywhere today, you're everywhere. There's no such thing as having not gone someplace anymore." "We sold 40,000 seats like the first day in Johannesburg," he continues. "We've never been there. But you've been there somehow, because someone wants to come and see you. So the Internet now is something that I'm becoming very interested in and trying to find ways of just, you know, getting more music out there. I mean, I'm not gonna be, you know I'm not gonna be tweeting. Somebody tweeted � I think I have someone that tweets for me, you know � "Real men don't tweet" or something. I don't know, something. But someone has tweeted in my name." More. hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
