Bob,

This is great, man, and you and Joliz are epic, but there is some good news and some bad news.

Good news, this is great.

Bad news, Bruce and Bob just called. Bruce said that because the new depressing movie about him didn't work out as expected, he was hoping his own cover of this song would put him back in the game, since some people didn't like his protest song either, and he was looking for something a little more E-Street Shuffle.

Then Bob called and said that he thought that HE had first dibs on the cover, because the song obviously was a metaphor for his whole career and catalog, and he wanted to cover it first because he hadn't had a hit in thirty years.

It got uglier after that.

I told both of them that I was collaborating with Martin Scorsese on a new film in the works called "The Last Woodstock" which is all about a guy who stands at the intersection of two streets in the West Village and never moves, or changes location, but always seems to write 500 songs a day, and doesn't move because he doesn't have to, and is better than Bruce or the other Bob ever was. And the film was expected to sell out the first weekend it opened.

Everybody is screaming, Bruce is mad, Bob is mad, and now I don't know what to do.

If you could just stop being so great all the time, that would help.

Thanks man. I'll let you call Bruce and Bob and offer to help them out with some of their new tunes.
