Bruce Springsteen - Van Zandt Unable To Digest Contemporary Culture

Veteran rocker STEVE VAN ZANDT no longer feels the urge to buy albums or watch movies, because he feels he's reached the point where he can't digest any more culture.

The 54-year-old, who now mixes his longtime role as guitarist in BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN backing group THE E STREET BAND with acting in THE SOPRANOS, has reached the stage where he'd rather use the knowledge he has already acquired.

He says, "I don't see as many shows or listen to as many records or listen to the radio or watch MTV or sports. I don't go to the movies as much as I'd like, but I don't think I'm missing much.

"I think everybody receives a certain amount of input growing up, and they reach a point where they're filled up, and they try and turn it into output.

"At this point I probably have a hundred albums and movies and all kinds of things in my head that need to get out.

"I've probably only done four things in 25 years: Springsteen, The Sopranos, my political involvement and the records. But those are four good things."
