10th Avenue Podcast

A Man In Pain... Long time partner of husband Adam, (going way back to Loveline days) Bryan Bishop AKA Bald Bryan sits down for a one on one conversation on the Tunnel Of Love album. Although Bryan doesn't consider himself a Springsteen fanatic, he does put Bruce up at the top of his list of all time favorite bands. Bryan talks about discovering Bruce at age 12 listening to Tunnel of Love and the Springsteen Live Box set, falling asleep to at night with his headphones. After discussing a little bit of what Bruce and his music means to Bryan, they break down the Tunnel of Love album song by song. The storytelling of Tunnel of Love seemed to have been written during a dark and tumultuous time in Bruce's life. Two years after basking in the glory of his newfound fame, coming off the biggest tour of his lifetime, the Born In the USA tour, this is a man writing about his own identity crisis, about relationships and break ups. As Producer Gary plays each song in consecutive order, Bryan and Lynette dig into the lyrics of each song, pointing out the deep meaning to the story Bruce is telling throughout the album. A real eye opener to any Springsteen fan who never really spent time listening to his most underrated album. This episode is compelling no matter Springsteen fan or just a fan of beautiful music about life and love. This is a must listen. As Bryan's mother pointed out to him when the album came out...this is a man in pain.

Lynette sits down with Artie for a one on one conversation in his kitchen in Hoboken, NJ. They go deep as they both share their love for Bruce and have many similarities in song choices. They talk about songs they listen to when they're in that depressed, dark state of mind. Artie shows a softer side and talks about one line in particular from a classic song that gets him every time. Artie tells the story of receiving a phone call from The Boss himself at his mother's house when he just got out of rehab. And they talk about how Mario Lopez would make a terrible Spanish Johnny.

This month's guest is the lovable Jim Rotolo host of of The Wild and The Innocent and Live from E Street Nation w/Dave Marsh on E Street Radio. Lynette and Jim spend some time talking about the hardcore fans on Twitter, Facebook and Backstreets.com. Jim talks about his job at E Street and how he started his "tailgate" style show The Wild And the Innocent for Friday night drive time. Buckle up, Lynette's fired up and excited to talk to Jim who Lynette's been a long time fan of and listens to every week on Sirius/XM. They both share some surreal and incredible stories of meeting the boss himself and spending time with him. Jim had the opportunity to work with Bruce at his home studio, had lunch with him (turkey sandwiches) while recording some of his DJ stints for E St. Radio. Lynette talks in detail of how she ended up having a 45 minute conversation with Bruce at a benefit in NYC. She was able to ask him all kinds of questions such as how he has the energy to do what he does night after night. Does he ever feel like going home instead of onstage and watch Sports Center and have a cheese burger. She also talks w/ Bruce about all the archival videos of him and the band on online and if he ever watches himself on YouTube.
