Springsteen chose to pursue the release of the Nebraska album over Born In The USA. How did he talk his record label into that? And why, after all these years, no one has told the story of this dark masterpiece.  And, could this be one of the best books of the year? Also included in this episode, are the monthly previews, reviews, and recommendations, which include a minor Beatles Fest (3 books and 1 doc about Beatle members) another Bob Dylan must have, and the annual holiday product dump that comes around every time this year.
