The new Bruce Springsteen<\/strong> documentary <\/span>Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen\u00a0& the E Street Band<\/span><\/em> is streaming now on Hulu and Disney+, and while the movie gives fans insight into the band’s live show, it also turns the camera on Bruce\u2019s dedicated fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film\u2019s director,\u00a0Thom Zimny<\/strong>, tells ABC Audio that he\u2019s always felt welcomed by the fans, noting\u00a0that for many, coming to\u00a0a concert is about more than just getting to see Bruce play some songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was interviewing the fans, the beautiful thing I encountered was this universal connection to the music,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd it goes beyond fandom.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI really talked to the people at length and found, to have simple stories of their connection to be a really powerful thing,\u201d he says. \u201cIt wasn’t being obsessed with celebrity or chasing a rock god. It’s more that they’ve taken this positive thing in their life, made a community out of it and it reinforces ideas for them that bring joy in their life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cThat silent communication that you see in people’s faces with the music\u00a0and the band, it’s something that I abstractly wanted to try to get across. It’s really hard to put into words.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zimny himself is one of those fans, and\u00a0when asked to pick his favorite Springsteen album, he had a hard time choosing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, every day there’s an opportunity to step into a Springsteen album. \u2026 Every day you can find an album to start at the beginning and play straight through till the end,\u201d he says. \u201cThe narrative arc and the journeys on these albums are flawless and they stay with me in a timeless way.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
