Yes, that was Bruce Springsteen on stage last night with just his guitar at Alice Tully Hall. White is smaller than Springsteen in real life, but he projects himself as a big presence on screen. He sings the “Nebraska” songs when Bruce is writing and recording, although Cooper uses the real Bruce recordings when they’re playing the music back. Bruce is just coming off his big hit, “Hungry Heart,” when he decides to pull back and re-evaluate his burgeoning career. Strong and Graham put in appearances at the after party at Ascent in the Time Warner Center, but Bruce, White, and Cooper were all absent.
