MADISON, N.J. (AP) - May 6, 2010
The former U.S. poet laureate and the unofficial poet laureate of rock 'n' roll appeared on stage Thursday at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where they discussed their work and careers.
Springsteen performed his songs including "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and "Born to Run" and provided accompaniment to some of Pinsky's poems.
Springsteen quipped the two men are pursuing their second-favorite professions, saying he always wanted to be a poet and Pinsky always wanted to be a songwriter.
The event was part of the university's WAMFEST Words and Music Festival.
