With all that is going on, I thought we could use a good laugh.  Ross Murray wrote a great column giving Mary’s version of the song Thunder Road.  It made me laugh and I couldn’t resist mashing the song and his column together.  I asked Karen who was my cohost on Storming the Castle to read Mary’s part.  I hope I did the column and the song justice.  I know that Karen is great as Mary.   Hope you enjoy this and it helps to make you smile.    Here is the link to the column - https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/mary-487-thunder-road-neptune-nj    Karen’s Twitter – @aleveria Jesse’s Twitter – @JesseJacksonDFW Learn more about your ad choices.

One of Bruce’s passions is raising money for food banks across the country.   He’s also a big supporter of WhyHunger the charity 4 founded in 1975 by the late musician Harry Chapin and Radio DJ Bill Ayres on the fundamental belief that access to nutritious food is a human right and hunger is a solvable problem in a world of abundance https://whyhunger.org/    A group of fans have decided to collect recipes submitted by Springsteen fans across the world and publish a cookbook that will be sold to raise money for Whyhunger.  For more details go to their Facebook page.  Jesse is joined by Candy Dawson to talk about the project.   Please send in your favorite recipe and then buy the book once it’s published.  https://www.facebook.com/hungry.hearts.recipes.to.the.rescue/ recipesannettedam@gmail.com designscandydawson@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.
