The Boss is on the Case

Set your TiVo. This just in from Backstreets...

Coming to the tellyvision in the new year: the January 8 episode of Cold Case on CBS will be a special one, featuring an all-Springsteen soundtrack. "8 years" is set between 1980 and 1988, and features nine of Bruce's songs from that period: "Stolen Car," "Drive All Night" "Atlantic City," "No Surrender," "Glory Days," "I'm on Fire," "Bobby Jean," "Brilliant Disguise," and "One Step Up." CBS' David Brownfield tells us it's "like an hour-long music video"; show creator and episode writer Meredith Stiehm says: "Because there are such vivid stories and characters in Bruce Springsteen's music, we decided to let the lyrics do a lot of the storytelling for us, instead of depending on dialogue." According to Brownfield, the episode was directed by Mark Pellington, who also directed Springsteen's video for "Lonesome Day." Tune in Sunday, January 8, from 8 - 9 p.m. ET/PT.
