Bruce Springsteen talks about his early days of learning to love rock-n-roll and the excitement of performing in a 1978 interview. Springsteen was an established star by this time, albeit not a mainstream icon like he became after 1984’s Born in the USA album. This clip combines archival footage with a backstage interview after a three-hour show. In 1978 he released Darkness on the Edge of Town, his fourth album and the follow-up to 1975's  Born to Run.

Bruce Springsteen gave the keynote speech at the 2012 South by Southwest festival. One topic: The influence that 1960s folk-rock band the Animals had on him. Part of the mid-1960s British Invasion, the Animals were popular during Springsteen’s teenage years. Springsteen plays a portion of “We Gotta Get out of This Place,” a song that captures many of the same images and emotions that Springsteen has highlighted in his own music.

Tom Brady gushes about Peyton Manning and discusses what makes him such a great player in this clip from 2012.

The duels between the two quarterbacks have been must-see TV for over a decade. Brady became a starter in 2001, his second season, and led the Patriots to a Super Bowl win. Manning entered the league as the No. 1 draft pick in 1998 and was immediately one of the league’s superstars.

Ken Morrow played for the Miracle on Ice hockey team and won a Stanley Cup a few months later. It was the first of four straight Stanley Cups Morrow would celebrate as a member of the New York Islanders. After a successful NHL career was cut short by injuries, he has worked as a coach and a scout. He currently works as the Director of Pro Scouting for the Islanders. In 2011 he auctioned off the jersey he wore on February 22, 1980, against the Soviets. It sold for slightly more than $100,000.
