Springsteen Regrets Declining Bono’s Gap Song, Says He Should Have Said Yes

At a Tribeca Festival event, Bono recalled asking Bruce Springsteen to license his song 'Girls in Their Summer Clothes' for Gap’s (RED) campaign; Springsteen admits he refused in 2008 and now says it was a big mistake, calling the song a personal favorite and joking that he should have done it so audiences could hear it as a hit. The moment came during a night honoring Springsteen, with Bono praising him and later joining for a performance.
