Jesse Jackson of Set Lusting Bruce interviews yours truly!
"For the past 5 years, Jesse Jackson has been talking to Bruce Springsteen fans from around the world. He believes that every Springsteen fan has a story to tell and it's his job to record as many as possible. At 600 episodes and counting, fans of Bruce (as well as fans of other musicians) have shared how the magic and power of music has helped them celebrate successes and mourn losses. Music has been part of births, deaths, birthdays, weddings, and other major events in their lives."
Now you know I'm not a big fan, relatively speaking, but there are two times I teared up on my show. One was when I played the studio version of Scheherezade by Rennaissance, and the other was when I read aloud the lyrics to The River.
And you also know I don't really like talking to people all that much. But Mr. Jackson's style, grace, and intellect make it easy for an old codger like me to feel comfortable dishing the distant dirt dealing with the dissonance of disco, the derelict and derivative dumpiness of dead drummers, and, delightfully describing the derring-do of decidedly driven debutantes and dandies. He interviewed me last month and this is it!
