I still agree with L girl about what one of the most important lasting legacies of Tim Russert's body of work will be.

But.

I also understand how important it is to separate a man's work from the man himself.

And besides, as Mr. Springsteen so eloquently explains, the 'screen door slams' for everyone......




OK?

And as nothing more than a small Boss-O-Logical aside, it is extremely interesting from a fan-geek POV to hear Mr. Springsteen strum as he talks during the pre-amble in the video above given how similar it is to what he did while offering up advice to John Cusack in Nick Hornby's Americanized version of 'High Fidelity'. I always thought the latter was purely movie hokum, but now I'm wondering if maybe he (Bruce) does the same thing at, say, bedtime when he's working himself up to saying something important to one of his kids before the story songs start and dreamtime comes because, well, you know.........
