Opening up about his children during a 2017 interview with theNew York Times, Bruce shared that his children havenever been superfansof his work — and that’s just fine with him.
“We had our kids late, I was 40 when our first son was born, and they showed a healthy disinterest in our work over all the years,” the 69-year-old musician. “They had their own musical heroes, they had their own music they were interested in. They’d be pretty blank-faced if someone mentioned a song title of mine.”
“I kind of like that,” he added. “I always looked upon that as that we did a good job.”
