20th Century Boss Part 4: “The River” with Patrick Stickles

For Bruce Springsteen 1980 double-album “The River,” I spoke with Patrick Stickles of Titus Andronicus, whose latest album, “A Productive Cough,” comes out March 2. I met up with Stickles at his apartment in Brooklyn right after my plane landed, and there’s a definite late-night vibe to this episode that suits the album. “The River” is a fulcrum in Springsteen’s career, summing up what he had done on his other albums up to that point, and also providing some clues as to where he was headed.
