Paul McCartney Hilariously Roasts Pal Bruce Springsteen While Presenting Award
HuffPost
"Unlike Bruce's concerts, I'm going to keep this brief," the former Beatle began his loving mockery of the New Jersey rocker.
Paul McCartney was on fire Thursday night when it came to razzing his friend and fellow music legend Bruce Springsteen.
The former Beatles singer presented the New Jersey rocker with an Academy Fellowship at the 2024 Ivor Novello Awards in London. The fellowship is the highest honor from England’s Ivors Academy, and Springsteen, born in the USA, is the first international artist to win it.
“Unlike Bruce’s concerts, I’m going to keep this brief,” McCartney said in his introduction, before blaming Springsteen’s famously long shows for making multihour performances the norm.
Per a transcript of his speech from New Musical Express, McCartney added that he couldn’t think of a “more fitting person” to be the first international fellowship winner, “except maybe Bob Dylan, or Paul Simon, or Billy Joel, or Beyoncé, or Taylor Swift. The list goes on.”
McCartney then mulled over how Springsteen would have fit in with the Fab Four. He concluded, “When it comes to talent, he was definitely in the Top Five.”
