    The legendary Bruce Springsteen opens up like never before, discussing the ins and outs of his songwriting techniques, in this interview conducted at his New Jersey home.

    Among the many topics touched on in this wide-ranging programme are Bruce's hopes for the Obama era in America, his thoughts on the recent death of long time band member Danny Federici, the influence that his childhood still has on his work today and why he thinks American supermarkets are hotbeds of lust.

    This intimate hour-long programme portrays The Boss circa 2009, with both a new album and another chapter of his life in the can.
