Last night, Bruce Springsteen was the musical guest on the penultimate episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. CBS was not subtle in its attempt to cozy up to Donald Trump, announcing the cancellation of The Late Show last summer, a move widely interpreted as a bid to appease the president. Colbert is making the most of his final week on the show, which included burning down the house with icon David Byrne a couple of nights ago. Last night’s episode featured a performance by Springsteen that was no less gripping despite its grave tone.
