just curious. is there anything known about what they think
of one another and if they ever met and talked?

Also I'm sure I read in the mid 90s when the NPG store in Camden opened that there was supposed to be footage playing of the 2 of them jamming in the studio together , anyone else recall that ?

Just remembered this from the 1990 Rolling Stone interview also:

What Prince listens to on his own time is a grab bag. He likes rap: he's recently signed rappers T.C. Ellis and Robin Power to record on his Paisley Park label but denies that he'll be producing songs for M.C. Hammer. "I like his stuff a lot," Prince says. "We've talked but not about working together." He also gives highly favorable mentions to the likes of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle and Bette Midler. "I'm not real into Bruce Springsteen's music," he says, "but I have a lot of respect for his talent."


Prince and Springsteen occasionally exchange notes; in recalling a Springsteen concert he saw from backstage a few years back, Prince displays the respect of a general reviewing another man's army. "I admire the way he holds his audience -- there's one man whose fans I could never take away," he says with a laugh. And how does he compare their stage tactics? "I'm not sure," says Prince. "But at one point, his band started going off somewhere. Springsteen turned around and shot the band one terrifying look. You know they got right back on it!"

I know that Prince went to 2 Springsteen shows in a row in St.Paul around
1985...Im a huge Boss fan...Ive always thought the live rendition of
when u were mine on lovesexy 88 live was influenced by the boss.

Prince attended a couple shows during The Rising tour.

I've read something like this in the NME and Michael Bland has said in interview that the Boss and Prince have indeed jammed together, I don't know much more.

just the idea of the two jamming together sends chills down my spine!

I remember that interview.It was right before 'Graffiti Bridge' came out.

also, in 2002 Prince stayed in Berlin after his show, instead of going to Oslo, to see a Bruce Springsteen show

very interesting info, people! seems they do have a bit of a connection
there.

and the thought of them jamming together is just

Bruce gave him props in the liner notes for his greatest hits cd. But I have no urge to see them together.
