Barack ObamaandBruce Springsteen started a podcast in February – called Renegades, it’s a series of conversations between the two originally recorded during the first wave of the pandemic in summer 2020. And one recurring thread in those conversations is a shared passion: the love of their country, despite its flaws and troubled history (and present struggles).
Now those conversations have been turned into a book, full of personal photos, artifacts and notes alongside the words. Springsteen and Obama sat down with NPR’s Audie Cornish to talk about it – check out that conversation here!
the thing with ace anarchy is that he seemed to have meant well in the beginning. his anger was righteous and, at least as far as we know, he only wanted freedom for all prodigies.
but his methods of going about it were questionable. it resulted in innumerable deaths and surely, there could’ve been better ways to get where gatlon city is now.
so many people—most seemingly innocent—lost their lives at ace’s hands. he even had his own family murdered, one of whom was a baby, after his brother went to the renegades. and for years after, ace manipulated and used his niece for his own gain with no regard for her feelings or well-being.
sure, the renegades aren’t perfect, or even all that good (a discussion for another day mayhap), but their actions in no way excuse or justify ace’s own.

Sometimes the red and blue color scheme of the Renegades trilogy makes me forget that the Renegades’ color is red and the Anarchists’ color is acid green
After finally seeing a glimpse of Winston’s whole life I’ve come to the conclusion that every single person who had a part in Winston’s life utterly failed the vibe check.
“There are many dangerous people in this world. but there are also many good people. Brave people. No matter how bad things get, we have to remember that. So long as there are heroes in this world, there’s hope that tomorrow night might be better.”
