Musician (the Del Fuegos), NYU professor, and writer WARREN ZANES and Dan have a deep-dive conversation about rock-and-roll legends BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and TOM PETTY.

Warren is the author of the best-selling and critically hailed Petty: The Biography, as well as Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska (which has been adapted into an upcoming motion picture, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen) which, obviously, qualifies him as more than just a fan.  To his credit, Dan holds up his end of the discussion as well.

This one is not a comparison of Top Ten lists – it’s an appreciation of two artists – not just as cultural icons, but as driven, flawed, and extraordinary human beings.

Killer soundtrack, too.
