* AmbiguouslyJewish: A common joke in references to Springsteen is a character thinking that because his last name sounds vaguely Ashkenazi, he's Jewish. [[Creator/AdamSandler Adam Sandler's]] "Hanukkah Song" has the line, "Bruce Springsteen isn't [Jewish]/But my mother thinks he is"; and in Film/BlindedByTheLight it'a something of a running gag that Javed's dad calls him "that American Jewish man". [[note]] "Springsteen" is Irish; he's from a Catholic family and has an Irish-American dad and Italian-American mom. However, E-Street Max Weinberg is Jewish. [[/note]]

Real Life troping; Cool Old Guy is a narrative trope and deemed NRLEP because of that


* CoolOldGuy: He's over seventy years old, and he sounds as good as ever, if not better.
** Clarence Clemons, who was still playing with the band right before he died at the age of 69, also counts.

* {{Hypicrite}}: PlayedForLaughs on his Broadway tour; he [[SelfDeprecation makes fun of himself]] for being "Mr. Born-to-Run" despite currently living 10 minutes from his hometown, and a working-class hero despite "never stepping foot in a factory" in his life. Some detractors levy these same criticisms against him more seriously, but YMMV.
