I have a sad story to tell this week about planting tomatoes, a story that began innocently enough in the late afternoon of an early spring day about 70 years ago when a nondescript pickup truck pulled up and parked on the side of the road next to the field behind Bicycle John’s house. A man got out of the truck and walked towards a group of 5 or 6 neighborhood boys, one of which was me; we were trying to get in an after-school baseball game before it got dark.
The man, a local, southwestern Indiana guy whose name I don’t remember, gathered us around him.

Bruce Springsteen recalls the odd jobs he worked to pay for his first guitar and other musical memories in a new snippet from the next episode of his Spotify podcast series with Barack Obama,
Renegades: Born in the USA.
In the snippet, Springsteen tells Obama he knew he wanted to be a musician at age 15, but to purchase his first guitar, he first needed to save up $18. To do so, he painted houses, tarred roofs, mowed lawns, and eventually had the money to purchase the instrument at the Western Auto Store in Freehold, New Jersey.
