Bruce Springsteen closed the 2nd to last Late Show with Steven Colbert tonight with his "Streets of Minneapolis".

I've heard it a couple few times before. Tonight though, his outstanding performance hit our hearts hard, leaving us both quiet, subdued and near tears.

It's a surprisingly powerful anthem for the uncertainty we're all living with (realized or not), as well as inspiration for the struggle ahead.

I don't have a ready link but it's worth tracking down.

Good Colbert tonight. I'll watch the whole thing on YouTube.

And good morning.
