1. A million thanks for posting this.
I was driving 600 miles today, and forgot to set the TIVO before I left town. But, I didn't know Bruce was going to be on, Thursday, before I left town.

Thanks again.

3. "...I try to chart the distance between American ideals and American reality."
From the interview (emphasis mine):

"What's on your mind? What are you writing about?" Pelley asks.

"I guess I would say that what I do is I try to chart the distance between American ideals and American reality. That's how my music is laid out. It's like we've reached a point where it seems that we're so intent on protecting ourselves that we're willing to destroy the best parts of ourselves to do so," Springsteen says.





That is what has always made his music so special. Thank you, Bruce.
