yeah, at least with the Dylan one you had a lot of lore...

folk music, protests, Greenwich village, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, going electric, did Pete Seeger really cut the power cable (which he denies...) there's a lot of stuff to make a movie out of along w/great acting and singing. Bruce Springsteen I can't think of a single thing, eg "the record company gave me a big advance🎵" In fact quite the opposite, getting to be late in the day for Bruce to come up with something for his record company in his late 30s. Is there any lore? motorcycle rides across the US how he meat Cleamons? There wasn't a larger scene to be expanded upon. If anything, the Wild, Innocent and Estreet shuffle is probably biopic enough.
