While being interviewed on CBS This Morning, Bruce discussed his relationship with his children. Springsteen admitted that his relationship with his father influenced the manner in which he raised his kids.

“Yeah, there were a lot of mistakes I didn’t want to make. And I think the way you look at it is, like, I don’t want my kids to have to dig themselves out of my hole. They’re gonna have their own hole they got to dig themselves out of. That’s just part of life, you know? Now, you’re always gonna — we always pass something along,” he said. “And that’s just — that’s just life, you know? So as a parent, you do your best to not lay too much of your own bull**** on them.”
