that's what all the fuss is series of chance occurrences. >> the mona lisa really only started to get famous in the last century. it sort of sat in palaces of kings for, you know, a couple of hundred years. >> so what changed? >> this young italian who was working at the louvre was apparently disgruntled that this, you know, masterpiece that rightfully belonged in italy was sitting in france so he stole it. it became this media fiasco and to this painting. >> you're saying that absent that it might never have become famous? >> i suspect that ab isn't that it would never have become famous. >> the mona lisa got lucky. >> it did. >> but what about the actual painting. was leonardo on to something or is the moan felicia's fame just blind luck? i could do a painting. and, you know, no matter how it would be put in the same category with the mona lisa. >> it's not that the things that success said don't have to be good in some sense, many things are equally good and could equally have been as successful and we've never heard of any of those things. >> so if you could rewind the world and let luck play out again, watts says there might not ab mona lisa, or a bob dylan or harry potter. all of whom benefited from being at the right place at the right time. >> there's some random accident that happens early on. and then that builds on itself and that builds on itself. and then many years later we have this huge effect that we are unable to explain except by saying this thing is unique and special. >> do you think you're lucky? >> oh, absolutely. >> our cbs news poll found seven out of ten americans feel the same way. they are mostly lucky. and as luck would have it, that interviewed. what about you? >> i do think i'm a lucky guy?

be clarence excellently. he was very good at it. >> until his health began a long decline. in 2011, clemons suffered a stroke and died days later. "losing clarence" springsteen twice, "was like losing the rain." >> it happened very quick and suddenly was quite devastating. >> when something like that, to begin with, goes away, you got to be sitting there going, how do i replace this? >> there's no replacing clarence. you got to do something else. >> clarence had mentioned he had a sax playing nephew, jake clemons. springsteen turned to him to resolve the band's identity crisis. when you saw this was finally working, was it a relief? >> oh, yeah, are you it was like the weight of the world off my shoulders, you know. >> springsteen faced an even greater challenge as he entered his 60s, a crippling attack of depression that he'd battle with the help of his wife and e street band member, patti scialfa. >> it lasted for a long time, in my 60s, it lasted for a year then strip away then come back for a year and a half. >> do you see it coming? do you feel it coming? it sneaks up on you. it's like this thing that engulfs you. i got to where i didn't want to get out of bed, you know? and you're not behaving very well at home and you're tough on everybody. hopefully not the kids. i always try to hide it from the kids. but, you know, patti really had to work with me through it. and she was -- her strength and the love she had was very important as far as guiding me throug. you're going to be okay. maybe not today or tomorrow. but it's going to be all right. >> you still function with it?

this is my confession ? i need your heart in this depression ] >> his late father also suffered from mental illness. and much of springsteen's book is an attempt to write a new ending to their relationship. >> yeah, my dad was very important in it, because i felt i hadn't completely fair to him in my m unfair? >> i think i left an image of him as sort of this very domineering character, which he could be at different times. and he could be frightening. but he was also much, much more. he had a much more complicated life. >> he describes an unannounced visit his father made to see him just days before the first of his three children was born. what did he say to you? >> you're going to get me now, man. he came in, we had a couple of beers. it was early in the morning and i think he said, hey, you know, you've been really good to us. i said, i wasn't so good to you. i said, well, you did the best you could, you know? and that was it. that was the only recognition i needed of our history. >> it was a little thing but it was everything? >> it was a small thing but it was everything. it changed immediately. it was just a lovely gift. it was a lovely epilogue to our relationship, you know. it really was. >> the relationship bruce springsteen has with his fans is deep and enduring. >> i'm still in love with playing. and my attitude at this point in mislive, this is what i love to can. >> thank you, philly! >> again and again on this tour, he played -- >> e street band loves you! >> he played his longest shows ever in the u.s. around four hours every night. you could play for just two and a half hours, you know?

>> because it was black and they were a music group. you want to see their eyes. you want to see their mouth. that's what's important. i met paul mccartney, maybe eight years ago. i told him who i was. he said, you used pancake make up and eye liner. when we asked you about the eye liner, you said, it will be fine. >> and it was. >> it was. >> over the decades, riccie has drawn close to more than a few friendships that mattered dearly after her husband, jay, passed away in 1999. >> i was devastated. i thought maybe i shouldn't go back to work. i didn't know how i could. and mike wallace came to the funeral home. and mike took me by the hands and he looked me in the eyes he said, you're coming back to work. i said, i don't know what i'm doing. he said, you are coming back to work. so he gave me courage, you know. >> i don't do this with my glasses on, can i?
