About this listen

 In this episode of Set Lusting Bruce, host Jesse Jackson welcomes new guest Kathy, a 61-year-old school teacher from Northeastern Nevada. Kathy shares her unique journey of discovering Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band relatively late in life, thanks to Stevie Van Zant's Teach Rock initiative. Raised in a military family and having moved multiple times during her childhood, Kathy opens up about her connection to music, specifically how Bruce's songs like 'The River' and 'No Surrender' resonate deeply with her personal experiences. The conversation also delves into Kathy's background in education, her passion for teaching, and the transformative power of integrating music and arts into the classroom. Tune in to hear how Kathy found her 'church' in Bruce's music and how she continues to find joy and community in the Springsteen fandom. 00:00 Introduction and Patreon Shoutouts 01:19 Meet Kathy: A Journey from Utah to Nevada 03:05 Military Family Background 05:53 Growing Up with Music and Books 12:41 Discovering Bruce Springsteen 23:30 The Impact of COVID and Living for Today 28:01 The Crisis in Education 29:06 The Importance of Arts in Education 29:27 Personal Stories and Reflections 33:48 Favorite Bruce Springsteen Songs 35:40 The Impact of Stevie Van Zant 37:12 Connecting Through Music and Podcasts 43:56 Western Stars and Personal Memories 46:17 Final Thoughts and Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.
