Nightshift last night was hard to watch. His pretentious faces and grandpa dancing were hilarious. Lounge act vibes. Lots seemed to like it, however.

Good interview and I'm really looking forward to the tour.
That said, Bruce seems a little weird these days.....

He's getting up there in age. & he's always been a little weird, it just wasn't publicized. There's some stories out there in the realm of gossip so no need to repeat them.

I still find it funny that we're outraged about Springsteen's ticket prices on a Rolling Stones board.

Nah, instead, he said it just like it is: he's only doing what "his peers" are doing (and that on previous tours, he priced his tickets a bit lower than said peers.) Now he's saying he deserves to be paid the same - and that he's pocketing the "extra" money above face value instead of it going to the scalpers.
Ticketmaster isn't really the one to blame here, they're just the middle man, the marketplace. Bruce and his management knew exactly what they signed up for when they went for the dynamic pricing model.
Look, his guarantee is 4 mil USD a night. The promoters probably weren't going to give him that without dynamic pricing.
With no money in record sales these days, artist are bound to milk every possible penny out of touring.
Between the lines he hinted that he may opt out of dynamic pricing for the US stadium shows rumored to take place in the fall of 2023, but let's see.
But saying he's sorry for going for the money after the fact would have sounded weird. Even weirder than the part about "refunds" if patrons aren't happy with the product.

While the ticket prices are comparable, consider how many times greater the Stones catalog and performance's are than Springsteens.

I like the new record but watching Bruce perform them on Fallon reminds me of the Rod Stewart show in Vegas. Not horrible but not what you really want. This line-up seems ready made for a Vegas residency.
