20220304-2 Nicole Sandler Show - A Conversation with Stevie Van Zandt

Whether you call him Miami Steve, Little Steven, Steve or Stevie, the Rock and Roll Consigliere joins me via Zoom for an all-encompassing conversation about his new book, "Unrequited Infatuation," and the many stories he tells in it, and then some. We taped this conversation on Wednesday. I figured it would be a perfect way to kick off the weekend after a rough and frankly pretty awful week. And then Putin bombed a nuclear power plant in Ukraine last night - the largest one in all of Europe- and I realized I couldn't wait until Monday to talk about that. So, we're starting a bit early today. I still want Steve to usher in my weekend -- I was feeling too good at the end of the interview to then start talking about the horrors being inflicted on the good people of Ukraine. So, we get a bonus hour at the beginning. That first hour is podcast separately.. so download it too to hear Harvey Wasserman, who's been one of the fixtures of the No Nukes movement since the 70s. In fact, he was one of the people responsible for bringing together MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy) and the brilliant No Nukes concerts in 1979, at which Bruce and Steve Van Zandt played. So it just seemed that this was the way to go... Anyway, a bonus hour today, and Steve Van Zandt. Now if only the people of Ukraine weren't under attack by the planet's sickest madman...
