De Niro stole ‘You talkin’ to me?’ line from Springsteen
De Niro’s character recites the line to himself in the 1976 Martin Scorsese movie.
Following the success of the movie, the line also created a huge buzz and become one of the most famous movie quotes of all time, reports Contactmusic.
De Niro made the admission to Springsteen’s bandmate Clarence Clemons - who coached the actor to play the saxophone for movie New York, New York.
Clemons tells the New York Daily News, “(He) had been to one of our concerts and the audience was yelling out ‘Bruce!’ In those days, Bruce would stop onstage and say, ‘You talkin’ to me?’
“De Niro was kind of channeling him.”

Ha, hab' mich schon immer gefragt, wer wen kopiert hat .

Aber mal eine andere Frage: Bei der Buchvorschau steht etwas über "The E-Street band’s show at Sing-Sing prison where all of their equipment blows out right as they take the stage" . Muss ich bis zum 12.Oktober warten oder kann mir jemand was darüber erzählen?

THEM CHANGES / BLUES IN C

ONE early afternoon show for inmates of “Sing Sing Prison”, with Springsteen and the boys the sole act on the bill. This nearly 2-hr show was held in the Prison Chapel. Apparently Mike Appel organized this as a bit of publicity stunt – and it did indeed attract reporters from Crawdaddy Magazine. A performance at this prison isn’t as bizarre as it may seem, as there had been a similar concert on November 22nd starring Joan Baez and BB King that was filmed and is available on video.

Setlist-wise this has to rank (along with 23/02/74) as the most unique show ever performed by Bruce and the band – it featured nearly all cover material, including a Clarence Clemons vocal rendition of Buddy Miles’ “Them Changes”. Greetings Tour Sound Manager Albee Tellone has commented to BRUCEBASE that an inmate with a saxophone was invited onstage to play with the band on a blues number in the key of C (possibly “Secret To The Blues”). Springsteen made reference to this gig in a 1973 Columbia Records media release. Of the inmate audience he comments: “They’re tough dudes. They got nobody to impress at all. It was good that they liked us”. Note: Following this show Springsteen and the band made the 90-minute drive to New York City to play two further shows that evening at Kenny’s Castaways.
