It's the gift that keeps on giving: presenting a research paper at last September's "Born to Run 50th Anniversary Symposium and Academic Conference," held at Monmouth University in New Jersey.
Not only was the conference experience beyond awesome (see additional link at the end of this post), I continue to feel a part of this newly discovered musical and academic community. After giving my paper at the conference, I was enjoying those moments when other conference attendees came up to talk informally about Bruce, research, and more. One of those who stopped by to talk was Jesse Jackson, the host of a popular Bruce podcast, who asked me to be a guest on a future installment of his show. Cool.
Late last October, we met via Zoom and talked for two hours. The links to that conversation (edited to fit the one-hour format), which drops today, is included here below:

Please take a few moments to listen. The conversation starts about 25 minutes in. And, if you missed my original post about the Springsteen conference experience, I've included it again here.
At the end of our conversation, Jesse asked if I would return for more Bruce talk, and I happily agreed. Look for more Springsteen chat with Jesse and me sometime in 2026. Meantime, don't hesitate to check out Jesse's other podcasts, especially if you are a Bruce Springsteen fan.
Enjoy!
