My friend calls it Bruce juice. It's the insanity that overtakes you when you see Bruce Springsteen. Certainly true of me. So he's always been that guy to you? Always. Since I was about 12. Yeah.

Oh, no. this was going to be i'd say most of my friends are right with me on that bruce mania but you know part of why i developed the show is i knew that about maybe half or third of the audience would not be such big bruce fans so i felt like i should introduce the songs give context for them tell them what they meant to me or give background of the of the song itself

And that kind of created these, and do it as Bruce. And I wasn't sure whether that would work. I'm like, this is kind of weird. But for me, it's kind of natural taking on a vocal character and sort of giving it some kind of life. That's sort of my gig. So that's what I did.

Yeah, it's a good question. I've asked myself the same question several times. Because, you know, part of doing anything, I'm sure you experience it. You wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes you're like, what am I doing? Like, you grew up with you, right? So, you know, boy, it's imposter syndrome, they call it. Like, I've really faked a lot of people out to get where I am.

Yes, which goes deep as much as I have plastic vocal cords and an ability to mimic that drove my, you know, career choice. Equally at play was this, you know, budding, alcoholic, very insecure person who was desperate to be anybody but himself.

And that was equally at play. That kind of drove the obsession to not just do this, but do it extremely to the point... I mean, when I was a teenager, around the time I was loving Bruce... You know, all you want to do as a teenager is fit in. So the tough kids in my neighborhood talk like this. And I sounded like them with them. And as far as they f***ing know, this is what I sounded like.

And the jocks sounded a different way. And I was a pretty good athlete. And I sounded a different way with them. And the burnout kids, you know, were a little mellower. And I sounded another way with them. And... This is before I figured out I can make a living doing that. But by the time I'm 15, I was so genuinely confused as to which one was actually the real me.
