Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica: ‘My parents followed their passion and they really encouraged me to do the same’Her father is Bruce Springsteen, whose seminal blue- collar, politically charged anthems – ‘Born to Run’, ‘Born in The USA’ – have inspired a devoted following across the globe. So was he a hard act to follow? Quite the opposite, says Jessica‘We were removed from the whole music scene. Everyone was so used to seeing my parents there that we weren’t treated as special,’ said Jessica Springsteen (pictured in West Palm Beach, Florida, last year)It’s impossible to separate Jessica Springsteen’s surname from her rock royalty heritage. Her father is Bruce Springsteen, whose seminal blue- collar, politically charged anthems – ‘Born to Run’, ‘Born in The USA’ – have inspired a devoted following across the globe. Her mother is Patti Scialfa, Bruce’s second wife, his former backing singer and a member of the revered E Street Band. So was theirs a hard act to follow? Quite the opposite, says Jessica. ‘My parents followed their passion and they really encouraged me to do the same.’ And Jessica has done just that, establishing herself as a showjumping champion and now ranked among the world’s top 5.

I am meeting Jessica for lunch in a low- lit Italian restaurant in New York. Very pretty and rather reserved, in ripped jeans and a Rag & Bone T- shirt that couldn’t be further from the elegantly tailored outfits she wears as a Gucci equestrian ambassador, the 2. The Boss’s iconic hits are on her own playlist. ‘I don’t listen to his music ever; it would be weird if I did. I just don’t listen to old music,’ she laughs, though she adds, ‘If I’m ever homesick, listening to my mum’s songs is so soothing. She has such a beautiful voice.’ Understandably, Jessica prefers the sounds of her own generation. ‘I don’t listen to his music ever; it would be weird if I did. I just don’t listen to old music. If I’m ever homesick, listening to my mum’s songs is so soothing, said Jessica (pictured with father Bruce and mother Patti)‘I am obsessed with Taylor Swift – her songs are so good and so catchy,’ she says, gleefully relating how she attended one of the pop superstar’s concerts with a group of college friends and met her backstage. ‘Taylor was so sweet; we had the best time ever… I’m such a fangirl.’ (Other favourites are Charli XCX, Florence & the Machine and Lorde.) Growing up, Jessica and her brothers Sam, 2.

Evan, 2. 5, went on numerous world tours with their parents. 'When we were little we would catch the first few songs of every show and then we would fall asleep.’ A little older, they witnessed adulation from adoring fans: ‘In the mid 9. I remember being at a huge stadium in Barcelona when thousands and thousands of people did ‘the wave’ [standing and saluting her father by waving and cheering]. I had never seen anything like it.’ And she admits now: ‘I love to go to his concerts with my friends – I’ve really started to appreciate the shows.’ For Jessica, a career in music was never an option. ‘I took piano lessons when I was younger, but I never followed through with it. My brothers both play guitar really well, and I’ve tried to play, but I just can’t do it.

I wish I could.’ She has an apartment in the same Manhattan building as Evan: ‘He works at an alternative radio station and is always sending me cool songs.’ Sam, ‘the hero of the family’, is a fire fighter in New Jersey.‘I’m so happy to see him doing something that he loves. All of a sudden he’s grown up into this big, macho guy,’ she says with obvious pride. When Jessica was a toddler, the family moved from Beverly Hills to a 3. Colts Neck, New Jersey (the state where Bruce and Patti were both born and raised) to give the children stability and a ‘normal’ life. ‘We were removed from the whole music scene. Everyone was so used to seeing my parents there that we weren’t treated as special,’ she says. 'No matter what’s going on in your day, when you’re riding your horse the only thing you’re focusing on is that bond,' said Jessica (pictured at the Monte Carlo Jumping Pro Am Cup in June)Did any famous rockers come for dinner? ‘Not that I can remember; no one really lives in New Jersey,’ she smiles. And did Bruce act as The Boss at home?‘No, my mum is the one more in control of everything.

My dad is very laid- back. My parents weren’t crazy strict; they are both easy- going.’ Surrounded by animals – ‘pigs, cows, tons of dogs and cats; we had ostriches for a while and each had our own little goat’ – the Springsteen children had regular chores. ‘I would feed the baby calves with a bottle. We loved going into the chicken coop and getting the eggs in the morning.

And I can’t remember a time before I was riding,’ she says.‘I’ve always loved horses. When I was about four, my parents used to put me and my brothers on the same pony and we would ride around together. 'I was obsessed with brushing my ponies’ tails and braiding them.’ She became seriously interested in the sport when her mother started taking riding lessons: ‘I wanted to do it, too.’ Bruce, now 6. Patti, 6. 2, bought their horse- mad daughter her first show pony for her seventh birthday. ‘He was called Shamrock, and he was always bucking me off and being wild. But he toughened me up. My old trainer’s daughter rides him now. I never want to sell my horses,’ she says. ‘I bring them home to the farm and retire them.’ What Jessica loves about riding is ‘the connection you have with the horses.

No matter what’s going on in your day, when you’re riding your horse the only thing you’re focusing on is that bond. 'They get to know you and there is a strong trust between horse and rider. 'They can kind of sense what you’re thinking. With some of my horses, I’ll think something and they’ll do it without me even asking them.’ Making a name for herself in the international showjumping circuit in her teens, with her first horse Deneuve (‘I was so nervous competing and she would always get me out of trouble’), Jessica had a single- minded focus that didn’t leave much time for socialising. ‘I would ride every day after school, all day at the weekends and I was constantly travelling for competitions as well as doing homework – I was boring, not a party girl,’ she says. The small private school Jessica attended was very strict: ‘If you were caught chewing gum they would freak out. ‘I’ve always loved horses.

Destiny 2’s Toughest Exotic Quest Is A Frantic Race Against Time. Think Destiny 2 is a little too easy?

Creation and designs. Watch Dead Europe Dailymotion. Much as Metal Gear began as a pastiche of action movies of the time, characters were pastiches of contemporary action movie heroes.

Good news: The quest for the Rat King sidearm is just the kind of extreme challenge you might be looking for. Destiny 2 players will occasionally receive multi- step quests that, if they can finish them, will each reward you with an exotic weapon. In the first Destiny, the quest for the hand cannon Thorn was the most notoriously difficult one. Not coincidentally, it was also the most rewarding. After The Taken King expansion launched in 2. Black Spindle sniper rifle dethroned Thorn as the new toughest, most rewarding quest in the game. Now, there’s a new contender.

Over the weekend I completed all three of Destiny 2's currently completable exotic quests. I’ve got the Rat King, the MIDA Multi- Tool scout rifle, and the hand cannon Sturm. The Rat King was easily the toughest to finish, and the most rewarding. It starts with a quest on Titan, one of the blue missions that open up after you finish the story campaign. It’s called “Enemy of My Enemy,” and it’s not too hard. At the end, you’ll get something called “Rat King’s Crew” in one of your kinetic weapon slots. It’s got a riddle attached, and if you want to solve it on your own, be my guest.

If you don’t want to know how to do the quest, stop reading! Here’s the solution for anyone who doesn’t want to work it out. You need to complete these steps, in order, with at least one other person who has the quest: Do three patrol missions. Do two public events. Do two Crucible matches together. Complete the Nightfall with at least 5: 0. If you already did the Nightfall strike, you probably read through that list thinking “Fine… no problem… easy… what.” If the first three steps are a piece of cake, the last step is a piece of rebar through the sternum. Stan Helsing Full Movie more.

Destiny 2 changes the formula for the Nightfall strike by introducing a timed element. Each enemy you kill adds some time back to the clock, but if the clock hits zero, you have to start all over. It’s not clear if every Nightfall will have a timer, but the next three will, at the very least. Next week’s will also have the prism modifier, Bungie just announced. On this week’s Nightfall, “The Arms Dealer,” you have to make your way through a bunch of wide- open arenas, dunk some energy cores, blow up some tanks, and defeat a major asshole boss named Bracus Zahn, all while managing a rotating elemental “burn” modifier that forces your team to take turns as the party’s primary damage- dealer. Once you know what you’re doing, it’s not that hard to finish before the timer runs out.

But finishing with 5: 0. On Saturday two Destiny friends and I teamed up to get the final Rat King step done. We’d all done the Nightfall multiple times and were getting pretty comfortable with the strike, but even so, we had no idea what we were signing up for. It took us hours to work out a way to do it.

If you want to see what immense triumph and relief looks like, watch this clip of us finally taking Bracus down: In the end, it wasn’t a wild strategy or some secret shortcut that got us to the end on time—it was simple memorization, careful play, and a little luck. If you’re trying one more time tonight before the reset, here are the best tips I can offer: The only shortcut you can take is when you reach the open area when you call your sparrows. Ride under the bridge and jump up the other side, and you can just bypass that entire fight. Go under here: And then climb up the platforms on the other side so that you can go straight into the next area: Other than that, don’t take shortcuts. Kill every enemy in every room as quickly as possible, and it should keep your timer above 1. The most important thing is to melt the boss’s health at the very start of the final showdown.

Save your supers for him, and when your element is up, hit him with everything you’ve got. You should be able to get him down to at least half health, which will cause him to bypass his first shielded phase after jumping up to his tower. That gives you a crucial second opportunity to kill him when he lands. After we finished I saw a slightly different strategy on Reddit, where all three players saved same- element supers (Arc, in this case) for the boss and triple- teamed him the minute the arc burn went into effect. I’m not sure that would’ve worked for our team, since our supers were also very important for getting us to the room in the first place, but it sounds like a solid strategy if you can make it work for you. If you can finally bring the boss down, you’ll be rewarded with an extremely weird gun. The Rat King doesn’t look like much at first glance.

It’s a decent sidearm, but I don’t much care for sidearms in general and certainly wouldn’t roll with one in my kinetic slot. It gives you a few seconds of invisibility if you reload after a kill, which is funny and potentially useful.

Its most interesting attribute, however, is that it gets a buff when you’re near other players who are also using it. The buff isn’t much with just two of you, but with three, the fire rate jumps noticeably. The buff stacks six times, which suggests it’ll be useful in the raid, but at the moment there’s no way to team up with a full team of six to test how high the buff goes.

Maybe it’s not actually that much better, but maybe it goes full- auto and spits explosive bullets. We’ll find out later this week. As much as I’ve enjoyed Destiny 2’s story and post- story missions, part of me has missed the teamwork and focus that the first game’s toughest co- op challenges demanded.

It was nice to feel that again, and it’ll be interesting to see whether next week’s Nightfall makes it easier or harder to get the quest done. Part of me hopes it’s easier, so that the people who didn’t manage it this week will have an easier time of it. Part of me hopes it’s harder, since hey, man, it was hard for me.
