[edhopper]

is the coolest thing since Steve McQueen got on a motorcycle.

1. I remember him being friends with Tom Petty also

Good people just gravitate towards each other.

[edhopper]

2. And Trump

doesn't have any friends.

6. Ted Nugent? Scott Baio?

C'mon Ed!

[edhopper]

8. Those are supporters

from all reports, Trump in incapable of friendship. He is a man who can only have one way relationships.

[leftieNanner]

11. You are completely correct!

I was kidding.

He is incapable of having friends. Shocking that he has had three wives. I guess money can buy you "love".

[edhopper]

13. But what they loved

was his money, and he doesn't love anything. Well Diet Coke and Adderal.

14. "He doesn't love anything"

Most especially himself.

What a horrible life he has lived.

I have known some wealthy people in my life (not the obscene kind, just the very comfortable kind), and I would not trade lives with any of them.

3. If you have Spotify, you absolutely need to listen to this podcast.

I've read Obama's books, so I was familiar with a lot of the stories he told, but I honestly knew little about Springsteen's background, despite being a big fan of his music. The interactions between them are fascinating and terrific.

4. Thanks for the link, it was a very interesting read since both are my heroes.

5. McQueen was a deeply damaged highly abusive man.

I'm not sure why anyone would think he was cool. He beat up the women he dated and played a caricature in movies.

[leftieNanner]

7. I didn't know that about him

Terrible.

9. They were both on Sunday Morning on CBS this morning......

such great chemistry between them......and that black corvette Bruce has was just awesome. Whew........

[edhopper]

10. Saw it

it was great. If my math is right that car was 12 years old when he bought it. He has obviously kept it in cherry condition.
Loved seeing them together, I have to hear their podcast.

12. Wow, The Depth of the Wisdom....

Amazing…
