| 0:00.0 | Okay. So let's talk about Bruce Springsteen. He was on it. You say that it was a CBS, but |
| 0:06.7 | I was a CBS, PBS news hour. I believe is what it is. Yeah. He was on PBS news hour with |
| 0:11.9 | Jeffrey Brown. It was a wide ranging 40 minute interview about his memoir and his approach |

| 0:23.5 | Yeah. So this was for some reason they were showcasing the Nebraska album, which for |
| 0:29.4 | years and years and years was my all time favorite album. You know my theory casey that Bruce |
| 0:34.0 | Springsteen's career is basically 10 years 1975 to 1985. Every album was incredible |
