By Brennen Matthews Opening Image by Nels Israelson
Iam often asked who is on my celebrity bucket list to interview. I generally answer in the same way each time; I don’t have a wish list of people to interview, but I do have a select shortlist of folks that I would love to have a real conversation with. I have a deep passion for fascinating conversations with diverse, creative people. I love discovering more about film, TV, and music talent whose work has influenced me and the chapters of my life. I am drawn to artists who have a long and remarkable backstory. My list is short, but at the very top is a singer-songwriter / musician with era-shaping music that has left an indelible imprint on many lives. His lyrics and sound speak soulfully to the emotional ups and downs of life. He has inspired countless artists and won the admiration of many of his peers; people who define classic rock and lyrical prowess. In 2002, he received the coveted John Steinbeck Award, in 2004 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by none other than Bruce Springsteen, in 2007 he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2014, he won the Spirit of Americana Award.
