Bruce Springsteen se convertirá en DJ por dos días. No es algo nuevo, pues entre 1974 y 1977 lo hizo en varias ocasiones, cuando visitaba los estudios de diversas emisoras de radio de Nueva York y Filadelfia para pinchar sus discos favoritos en compañía de sus amigos/locutores Ed Sciaky o Kid Leo.
En esta ocasión Bruce pinchará una selección de su música favorita en el canal E Street de la emisora de radio por satélite Sirius/XM. Será el lunes 19 de enero, a las 4 de la tarde EST (las 22 h. en España). Según algunas informaciones, entre la selección de artistas que Bruce ha seleccionado figuran James Brown, King Crimson y Public Enemy. El programa se re-emitirá en días posteriores. Habrá una segunda sesión de DJ el siguiente lunes, 26 de enero, que también se re-emitirá en diversas ocasiones. Bruce escogerá sus discos y canciones favoritas, y comentará cómo las descubrió y porqué le gustan.
