The Music of America Review, Dua Lipa Ties The Knot, Taylor Swift Drops A New Track

Yeah, lots-

I don't get jealous often, um, but I was freaking out that you got to go to these concerts-

Yeah

... at the museum.

We talked last week about the opening of the museum and-

Yeah, lots to talk about.

We had our f- our, uh, our old friend Bob Santelli-

Yeah

... who is the founding executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American music, was on last week to set up these shows and the, the official ribbon cutting that happened on Saturday at Monmouth University.

I went down f- uh, on Friday for the second-

Second one

... of the two shows that, that happened to honor this event, and stayed through all the festivities on Saturday.

And, you know, at risk of, I don't wanna repeat too much of what Bob was talking about, but it was really thrilling to be there.

Quickly on the, on the show, they did these two concerts celebrating, it was, you know, Songs That Shaped Us-

Yeah

... was the theme.

So the Thursday show, which I didn't go to, it really was sort of pre-war/post-war were the two shows.

So the first night was much more folk songs, heavy-

When you say pre-war, you don't, you're not talking about World War II?

World War II, yeah.

You are?

Yes.

Okay.

So the first night was really, there was a lot of Woody Guthrie, big focus on that.

Trombone Shorty was there to do New Orleans brass bands.
