  4. Bruce Springsteen's minutiae on display in 'Bruce'

    In the mid-80s my high school choir director was Lena McLin, a legendary music teacher with an impressive and diverse list of mentees (R. Kelly, Mandy Patinkin, opera diva Jonita Lattimore).

"If this man can move people," she told us, "you have to respect that."
