It was the other 21 that were killing me, you know?” he added with a laugh.</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Stephanopoulos then asked if, during those darkest moments, he ever believed he’d “merge whole.”</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>“No,” Springsteen replied. “In the middle of it, there’s a lot of confusion, chaos and unsureness, you know? I think that I was very surprised when I had my initial whatever you’d like to call it, breakdown, anxiety attacks. I had, up to that point, been quite successful in using my musical meds and keeping myself relatively steady.”</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>“So it was very shocking to run into it where suddenly those things stopped working,” he said.</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Portraying the music icon is </span><em><span class=”s1″>The Bear</span></em><span class=”s1″> star&nbsp;</span><span class=”s1 s2″><strong>Jeremy Allen White</strong></span><span class=”s1″>, alongside </span><em><span class=”s1″>Succession</span></em><span class=”s1″> actor <strong>Jeremy Strong</strong> as longtime manager <strong>Jon Landau</strong>.</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>“They’re such big shoes to fill, and I just wasn’t sure,” White said of playing Springsteen.&nbsp;“I don’t play guitar, I don’t sing. I said, ‘Are you sure you don’t wanna find a guy that can kinda do some of these things, you know?’”</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>Despite his hesitation, Springsteen said White was his first choice.</span></p><p class=”p1″><span class=”s1″>“There was something about the way Jeremy carried himself,” Springsteen said. “He was the first guy that I thought of.”</span></p><p>Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.

Kenny Loggins is not happy that his song “Danger Zone” was used in an AI generated video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social on Saturday.

The clip featured Trump flying over a group of protesters in a jet labeled “King Trump,” and dumping some sort of brown sludge, or excrement, on top of them.

“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone.’ Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately,” Loggins said in a statement. “I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us.”

“Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together,” he added. “We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. There is no ‘us and them’ – that’s not who we are, nor is it what we should be. It’s all of us.”

Finally, he noted, “We’re in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.”

“Danger Zone,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 film Top Gun. It also appeared in the film’s 2022 sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

A guitar signed by U2’s Bono and The Edge will be part of an upcoming virtual silent auction being put on by the Woody Guthrie Center.

The members of U2 are this year’s Woodie Guthrie Prize recipients. According to a post on Instagram, the “marquee item” in the auction will be a Gibson 70s Explorer Natural guitar signed by the two band members.

The auction is set to go live on Tuesday at 12 p.m. CT. It will also feature signed memorabilia from previous events and experiences put on by the Woody Guthrie Center and the Bob Dylan Center, which are both in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Woody Guthrie Prize, named after the late folk icon, recognizes “a recipient who embodies the spirit of Woody Guthrie’s social consciousness and musical legacy.” Bono and The Edge will be on hand to accept this year’s prize at a ceremony Tuesday at Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom. U2 previously played the venue in 1981 on their The Boy Tour.

Previous Woody Guthrie Prize winners include Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Joan Baez and Rage Against the Machine‘s Tom Morello.
