In this episode of 'Set Lusting Bruce,' Jesse Jackson steps off the Bruce Springsteen train and dives into a fascinating conversation with comedy writer and musician, Steve Young. Best known for his 25-year stint with 'The Letterman Show,' Steve shares stories from his career, his unique record collection featured in the documentary 'Bathtubs Over Broadway,' and his foray into alt-country music with his album 'Broken Heart Insurance.' Tune in for an engaging discussion about the intersections of comedy, music, and the unexpected turns life can take. He also shares one of my favorite answers to the Mary Question!
