Renegades: Born in the USA by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen’s podcast series, Renegades: Born intheUSA,wasa mixed bag. While it was a joy hearing two cultural giants in honest conversation, the pair never really scratched the surface of the thornier issues of politics, race and family. And renegades, really? It’s been a while since either could claim to be part of the counterculture. Still, the glossy accompanying book will be a pleasing addition to any fan’s collection. Full transcripts are partnered with historical photos and personal shots from their family archives, giving an extra depth to proceedings.
