Wertheim engages in a conversation with Van Zandt, who is now 72 years old, discussing his upbringing in New Jersey alongside his close friend Springsteen, the success of the E Street Band, his involvement in political activism, the changing landscape of the music industry, and what makes him a unique American figure.
Africatown
AFRICATOWN: Correspondent Anderson Cooper continues his coverage of Africatown, a community established by formerly enslaved men and women who were brought to Alabama on the Clotilda slave ship in 1860.
