   Is A Dream A Lie, If It Don't Come True?

   We're back on brand, back in Springsteen Country, and with very special guest Neil McRobert (author, journalist, reviewer, and host of the mighty Talking Scared podcast) in tow, it's finally time to dive into The River. Breaking this behemoth album into two shows, tonight we talk Disk One, as well as our histories with the record, general remarks about the album as a whole, and Neil's Grand Unifying Spreinsteen Theory. Expect discussions of parental loss and elemental relationship fears alongside some entertaining differences of opinions, and discussion of whether or not this album contains the platonic ideal for the mother-in-law joke. Enjoy! Part 2 to follow shortly :)
