What the world has been saying — from the Springsteen duet to now.
On Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, Jack Antonoff got to duet with the artist who shaped Bleachers' whole musical DNA: Bruce Springsteen appears on "Chinatown," a song steeped in the same New Jersey rock tradition Antonoff has been chasing since Steel Train.
For a band that wears its E Street Band influence on its sleeve — the saxophone, the widescreen choruses, the working-class Jersey storytelling — getting Springsteen himself on the record wasn't just a feature. It was a hometown hero showing up to co-sign the whole project.
