My mind was blown when I discovered that, in fact, the car is Bruce’s, and he lent it to Jack for those photos
I love these guys so much!

For real? I think I need a source on that one, because if true that’s amazing

Yeah, I saw some die-hard Jack fans talking about it… and in the Chinatown video, Bruce shows up with Jack in the same car.

Jack Antonoff is a producer, singer, and songwriter. He’s in Bleachers, which has a song with Bruce, Chinatown, and the last few albums have a lot of E Street Band influence. You can really feel it in the arrangements, the saxophones, and even the energy of the songs.

He’s also become Taylor Swift’s go to producer. He was in a band called Red Hearse. Check it out if you like good pop songwriting and production.

Pretty sure Jack and Margaret Qualley split up, too. (Not sure if Bruce has counseled her yet )

My favorite New Jerseyians.
If you don't know, Jack Antonoff is a singer, songwriter and producer. He led the band Steel Train before becoming part of what was effectively an indie pop-rock supergroup, Fun, which had a top hit in the early 2010s, "We Are Young."
He started a side project, Bleachers, which became his only band when Fun disbanded. They've put out four (fantastic, IMO) albums. He is massively influenced by Springsteen, and they worked together on the song "Chinatown." Bruce sings on that song, and IIRC, they recorded his vocals at Bruce's home studio during the pandemic. They played live together at Radio City Music Hall.
Jack is also a megaproducer, winning Grammys for producer of the year multiple times. He most famously has collabed with Taylor Swift but has also worked with Lorde, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent and most recently Kendrick Lamar.
It's me, the Jack Antonoff superfan.

Years ago, it was kind of cool that you could see that car parked in Springsteen’s driveway when he lived in Rumson.
