Steven Van Zandt is an interviewer's dream.  He's thoughtful, reflective and funny.  Very funny.  I've had the pleasure of interviewing Steven several times.  This interview is from 2021, as Steven was putting the finishing touches on his compelling memoir "Unrequited Infatuations."  So it was a perfect time to talk to him about the early years: growing up as a rock 'n roll obsessed kid unpopular both at home and in town, early gigs down the Jersey Shore and the decision to give up the music business as his friend Bruce Springsteen was entering into it.  It's been quite a journey for Steven, making music, television shows and a difference.
