Sure, Bruce Springsteen may be one of the most famous and successful musicians around. Sure, he may even be a living legend. But now he's "official" –– the New Jersey rock star was honored with an entire category dedicated to him on Jeopardy! just last night.
The show began with host Alex Trebek naming off the various categories, all of which had Springsteen-related subgroups – "Glory Days," "Born in the U.S.A.," "The Ghost of Tom Joad," "Cover Me" and "The 'E' Street Band" as well as one labeled "Bruce Springsteen."
The clues within each category consisted of song lyrics, facts about the singer and his band and even more recent appearances on "this TV host's" show –– speaking of comedian Jimmy Fallon and their rendition of "Whip My Hair."
Springsteen is currently on hiatus from touring, despite a recent appearance in Portugal alongside the Rolling Stones. But just because his live performances are currently on-hold doesn't mean he hasn't been keeping busy. The New Jersey-native just dropped news of his directorial debut on the short film Hunter of Invisible Game, which takes its name from a track off the artist's newest album High Hopes.
On the title, Springsteen told Rolling Stone, "I wrote the title down years ago, and I don't remember a lot about it except I said, 'That's a nice title.' I wrote it down and it sat there. Then I did more reading of other things. And I started to get into this sort of post-apocalyptic idea. The idea of these travellers in the wasteland, and what's the guy trying to do? He's trying to hold onto their humanness, their humanity in all of this ruin. That was the idea."
