• Remember that time Bruce and Stevie got together in a bowling alley to ask each other personal questions for an hour and a half?

• So Springsteen's contribution to Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues 2022" video is, well, cute but underwhelming. You can spot his telltale handwriting on two cards (41 & 42) in the clip, below:
• Looking forward to seeing Bruce and Gary Clark Jr. tackle The Beatles' "Come Together" when PBS airs highlights from the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony honoring Jon Stewart on June 21. (You can watch fan video at NJarts.)

• ICYMI: Here's what Bruce has to say about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
