Wow. I'd forgotten about that apology if I ever know about it, but it may help to explain why Springsteen appeared on Stern's show.

Otherwise you'd think Springsteen would have been more likely to talk to, say, Colbert, and not just because SC lives in New Jersey (in Montclair, where I lived in adulthood). Springsteen may have been on the other shows, too, but it was still a surprise to read your comment about Stern. Thank you!
