Perhaps no work of art has such a powerful connection to the horrific and shocking events of September 11th as Bruce Springsteen's The Rising album. Powerful, beautiful, painful, heroic, cathartic, vengeful, unifying, inspiring, brave, vulnerable, fearful, loving... it's all fertile territory and Bruce covers every bit as he responds to the events of September 11th as only the truly great artists can - through his timeless and brilliant work.

In this debut of a new sidecast series entitled The Chronicles of This and That, Eric welcomes Lee McCormack of the Tramps Like Us podcast, Kimberly Blatz, and Pods & Sods regular Mr Brian Jacobs for this wonderful conversation about this landmark album, it's meanings, significance and impacts.
