This episode features Bruce's keynote address from the South By SouthWest music festival and conference in Austin, Texas on March 15th, 2012. Springsteen delivers "the meaning of music" to a roomful of young artists, musicians and music enthusiasts. This speech is absolutely my favourite interview/speech/lecture...umm...sermon that he has given. It's entertaining, funny and inspirational.

I'm joined by Ryan McKay on this show to discuss Bruce's 1978 record DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN. Ryan tells us about his Springsteen fandom and then we dig in deep on the backstory, give our thoughts, a song-by-song analysis, and reflections on this fan-favourite album.

Ryan is the co-host of the Shabby Road Record Show. One of my favourite podcasts. Highly recommended for music fans, record collectors and rock'n'rollers. Be sure to check out Ryan's show on iTunes and wherever fine "hipster free" podcasts are consumed.  http://www.shabbyroadrecordshow.com/

Bruce just appeared on the BBC Radio 4 program Desert Island Discs with Kirsty Young. It was a great interview and interesting that there was an agenda for Bruce to pick some songs that shaped his life. I thought it would be cool to discuss the tunes the Boss deems desert island worthy for this episode of the podcast. Check out the original BBC program here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0855znp

Eric Miller from the Pods & Sods Network podcast joins me to discuss Bruce's desert island picks. Then Eric and I both give our Bruce desert island picks. What Springsteen music would we take?

I met Bruce Springsteen! Charles Harrison and Kathy Fisher did as well, and they joined me on the podcast to retell our tale of meeting the Boss in Toronto on the last stop of his meet & greet Born To Run book tour.

To round out the show, James Cavalluzzo and myself discuss this very cool remix of State Trooper by Anders Trentemoller. We talk about Springsteen, Trentemoller and the connection between Suicide and Bruce.
