Bruce Springsteen says that while the United States is currently in "a very dangerous moment," the nation has faced other turbulent times.
"I think we're going through a very, very difficult period," he told Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett). "But I tend to remain realistically optimistic that the country will pull out of it, and something new will be born from it that is good."
"Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song" is a PBS News special exploring @Springsteen’s extraordinary career, his lasting impact on American music, and the opening of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University.
See more from the special on the PBS News website.
In 2015, I interviewed David Clayton-Thomas.
“You sing ‘You Made Me So Very Happy,’ no matter how many times you’ve sang it,” he told me, “when you see people’s faces light up in the audience, it’s worth it.”

[STEVE CROPPER]: I don’t think about that. I guess a lot of groundwork’s been laid. The music speaks for itself.
