Robert Pinsky and Bruce Springsteen performed together at Fairleigh Dickinson University to a crowd of 400 students, where they also discussed their work, influences and careers and joked about the fact both were born at Monmouth Memorial Hospital, albeit nine years apart (Pinsky is older). The occasion was the university’s WAMFEST Words and Music Festival. “What I’ve been trying to write about for 40 years, Robert gets into a single poem,” Springsteen said.
A 400 person venue for this event? Nice planning FDU.
