The Activist Rock Star (with Steven Van Zandt)
Summary
Preet answers a listener question about reports that former President Trump was deposed on Monday as part of a lawsuit alleging that his security guards attacked protesters outside of Trump Tower in 2015. He also addresses what will happen if Steve Bannon is held in criminal contempt of Congress. Plus, some thoughts on steakhouses.
Then, Preet interviews Steven Van Zandt, aka “Little Steven,” an actor and musician best known as the guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. Van Zandt, who also played mobster Silvio Dante on HBO’s The Sopranos, is out with a new memoir, Unrequited Infatuations. He opens up about his relationship with Springsteen, his path to an acting career, and how he became involved in the anti-apartheid movement.
