( cheers and applause ) candidate you're enraged by. because hillary clinton and donald trump are the two least popular major party nominees in american history. luckily, you have options, because according to the federal election comission, 1,928 people have declared their candidacy for president this year. and before you ask, no, none of them were michelle obama. i know. the number of declared candidates has more than quadru election cycle, because the f.e.c. has started accepting filings on the internet. so now there are some goofy candidates who have no real shot, like "cobra commander;" "yoda starwars;" and best of all, there's a listing that says god is running for president. that's great news. i was worried this election was proof there is no god. so good luck to all those candidates. especially, good luck to god did you know that he turned lot's wife into a pillar of salt? that's going to hurt him with soccer moms. >> whoa, whoa, hold on a second, stephen. stephen. >> stephen: god, is that you? >> yes, that's me, right behind this thing. yeah, here i am. >> stephen: why are you running for president? >> well, people really wanted me in the race. they look at hillary and trump and call out, "god help us." >> stephen: okay, that makes sense, that makes a little bit of sense. >> i think so. s running mate yet? >> oh, don't bring it up. i've narrowed it down to either "the son" or "the holy ghost." and whoever i don't pick, is gonna be pissed. as you know, junior's very sensitive. >> stephen: he'll forgive you. >> maybe. >> stephen: god, isn't your age going to be an issue? >> oh no. if you read the bible, you'll see i've mellowed with age. besides, i've got a one-page letter from my doctor saying i'm extremely healthy. ( cheers and applause ) there, look at that. >> stephen: glad to hear it. >> he wrote it while i was in the limo. >> stephen: so, god, where do you stand on the issues, like, for instance, global warming? >> hey, don't blame global warming on me. i was one burning bush. come on. but i do have a plan: arks for everybody! nothing like riding out the flood on the high seas, listening to yaks doing it. they make a lot of noise. i'll tell you. nothing louder than a yak in the sack, stephen. ( laughter ) >> stephen: let's move on, god. >> yes, let's move on quickly. question your ways, oh lord, but if you don't win, would you endorse one of the other candidates? >> oh, i don't know. i mean, trump's asked for my help, but he's got tiny hands, so his prayers aren't very effective. ( laughter ) >> stephen: well, i wish you luck with your campaign, god. what do you think your chances are? >> pretty good! everywhere but the southern states. >> stephen: why not the southern states? >> i'm just not religious enough for them. ( laughter ) >> stephen: god, everybody! we'll be right back with bruce thank you, god. >> oh, springsteen is the real god!

( laughter ) and i was 16. 16. >> stephen: wow. well, if you can't judge a book by the cover, let's talk about the cover of this book right here. there it is, your new memoir "born to run." so let's judge this book by its cover. can you tell me about this guy on the cover of this book? how old are you there? >> i'm 27. >> stephen: you're 27. >> 27. >> stephen: what would you-- what do you think this guy at 27 would say if he saw this guy at 67? >> okay. "where'd my car go? who's the old man in the suit jacket? and what did he do with my hair?" i'd say-- >> stephen: so, why did you write a book? you've been writing for years, you know. it's an autobiography, but your songs-- unless i'm wrong-- are auto-biographical. >> they seem that way. >> stephen: yeah. they seem that way? have you been lying to us in the songs all these years, bruce? >> well, that's what artists do. they lie in service of the truth. >> stephen: really? >> of course. >> stephen: is that what you tell the judge? so what were you able to do in a book that you couldn't do in songs? >> the book is very different. you have-- you have to-- you still have to find rhythm, and you have to find music in the prose that you're writing, but there's a lot more space to delve into deeper details. and also, an autobiography, people know it's immediately about your life. whereas the songs, there's always a question, you know. "are you the guy in 'racing in the street'." are you the guy in 'growing up?' in some cases, i am that guy. directly from your experience. >> stephen: well, it's-- it's like your music in that it's-- it's beautiful, incredibly moving. every-- practically every paragraph that i've read in this has been like poetry. >> whoa! >> stephen: no, but also-- but, no-- >> let's go there. >> stephen: but it's also like listening to you talk at the same time. how long did it take you to find the voice of this book? what was the process of writing >> it started when we played the super bowl, which is, even if you've been at it a long time, it's a little bit of a hairy-- a hairy evening. >> stephen: you might slide on your knees and grind your groin into a camera, in the middle of it, like i seem to remember you doing. >> that's true. that's just one of the many things that could happen. ( laughter ) but after, you know, it ended up being quite an experience, so i wrote a little essay to put on essay. it felt like me. so we were in florida for a while after the super bowl, and i sat around, and i said, well maybe i'll throw some memories down from when i started. so i just started from the beginning. and i spent about two or three weeks writing, and initially i thought, well, you know, i don't know what i'm going to do with it. maybe it will just be for the kids to read or something when they get older. th more, and i wrote a little bit more. and i put it away, sometimes for a year, even longer when we toured. and i come back to it and i go, that's pretty good. maybe i'll keep going. so, eventually it got to a point where i knew i was in the process of writing a book, and-- but i really kind of wrote it somewhat casually over seven years. >> stephen: so this is seven years of your life represented right here. >> yeah, i think so. two years, if you compact it all
