Great episode! Epic guest!

Thomas Edwards

Babs Fockaretta (for real), a senior high girl we all considered super hot, proudly carried the Born in the USA album under her arm, as she sashayed around in her swimsuit at a swimming carnival. We thought this was so cool. Kinda still do.

Good episode but don't understand the effulgent commentary about Bruce Springsteen. To me the music was very of the time but nothing I'd ever listen to on purpose. People like what they like lol

Thomas Matich

Just picked up a vinyl of 'Tunnel of Love' recently. A masterpiece. And love the photography by Annie Leibovitz.

I was GOING to ask you, have you seen any OTHER movies?

Bret's icy silence when he praises C'mon C'mon lol...

Finally finished, this was delightful and touching.

Who’s Lauren and what podcast are you referring to? Although I couldn’t agree more. Just Like That is such has been such a buzzkill for the SATC franchise.

George's wife Martha

Love this episode—Gen X heaven!

Before they had a record out. Before they went gold.

Phoenix

It’s funny, I remember my dad played Born in the USA incessantly when it came out, but it just doesn’t hold up to me these days. Not like Songs From the Big Chair by Tears for Fears or Building the Perfect Beast by Don Henley which were also played on repeat, and I still go back to almost 40 years later. But I’m intrigued to read his book, although I know nothing about the album Nebraska. Loved the episode, including his soothing voice.

PETER GREER

Fabulous episode

Darren Ankenman

The Taylor Swift talk makes me think of the Bateman Sussudio rant.

Brian Rooney

Currently listening to Greetings on a bike ride thru Asbury. Great episode. Book so far is a blast. Basically his voice in prose. Grab it!

Incredible interview/conversation feel a better human for have listened. Thank you.

John Presnall

Yes. Springsteen meets a writer on Tom Petty who was the Del Fuegos. I remember the Juliana Hatfield song, My Sister, and how she saw the Del Fuegos. Thanks for this.

For some reason this made me thing Van Morrison would be a good guest. I think it brought his throw away album to mind that he made just to get out of his contract. His recent stuff has comedy value on par with the musical value of his early work. Dude is hilarious and uses his platform in a way you can't hate. "Why are you on Facebook" is an accidental modern masterpiece.

Chris Jones

McCartney from 1970 was probably the first lo-fi album by a major star. Much more playful and lighter than Nebraska, it still was ahead of it's time.

Gary Wood

“Imperial Bedroom” was such a major departure in Elvis Costello’s oeuvre. There were hints on the previous album “Trust”, of the promise fulfilled on “Imperial Bedroom”. Talking about the head and the heart, do you think the difference lies in the fact that Elvis is British and Bruce is American?

am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.

Bret is a master interviewer, listened to Marc Maron’s Warren Zane’s interview and was bored to tears…Bret weaves an engaging story and brings out the best in his guests
