In it, Springsteen sings: “The road is long and it seems endless / The days go by, I remember you, my friend / And although you are gone And my heart is empty, it seems that I will see you in my dream.”
Gudinski, president of the powerful Mushroom Group of Companies, died on Monday (March 1) at his home in Melbourne, aged 68, sending shock waves through the Australian music community and around the world.
News of Gudinski’s passing generated a wave of regret on social media and was reported in newspapers around the world, including Ireland’s best-selling daily, The Independent.
Springsteen led tributes to Gudinski, who he described as “the first, the last and always a man of music”.
The Rock and Roll nominee Hall of Fame continued, “I have toured the world for the past fifty years and I have never met a better promoter. Michael always spoke in a deep, resounding voice, and the words came out so fast that half the time I needed an interpreter. But I could hear him clearly when he said, “Bruce, I will take care of you”. And he always did. He was loud, always on the move, intentionally (and unintentionally) hilarious and deeply emotional. He will be remembered by artists, including this one, from around the world every time he steps on Australian soil. “
“I will see you in my dreams” appears on the release of Springsteen’s album in 2020, Letter to you, which debuted first in the UK and Australia, and second in the US
