I ran into Bruce at The Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at The Waldorf, New York City a couple of years ago but really haven’t seen much of him lately. I’ve done four interviews with Bruce over the years and now, because I share his politics and because this is Washington, DC, I’d love to talk with him again on my afternoon show on The Globe.   I keep in touch with Steven and have done several cool radio events with him in conjunction with his wonderful syndicated radio show ‘Little Steven’s Underground Garage’ (which airs every Sunday night on my station.) I’ve been pals with Nils since his Grin days and sat with Nils at a Capitol Center Springsteen concert before he joined the band. Like all of us, Nils was a fan too.

I love Bruce’s music more now than ever. I keep rediscovering his songs. In 2003 when I contributed to the Frank Stefanco photography book ‘Days of Hope and Dreams: An Intimate Portrait of Bruce Springsteen’ I fell in love all over again with the albums ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’ and ‘The River.’ Talk about redemption. Bruce’s songs can break your heart or heal your heart depending on where you are at the moment. For me, they still do both. I am honored that Dave Marsh included me in his bestsellers ‘Born To Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story,’ and ‘Bruce Springsteen: Two Hearts, The Definitive Biography.’ I was one of the first true believers on radio and that’s a great short list to be on.
 I had some of these final thoughts on Bruce as our buddy Little Steven is about to wrap up Sopranos forever!!
