bruce springsteen, mick jagger. i really did not know what to expect. i did not expect artists of this caliber. bruce springsteen barely says anything. sting?ot the boss and stayi it was wonderfully produced. when you are a background singer, this is just a generic question -- i want to know how you feel appreciated or not appreciated by the artist. has your experience been that you felt appreciated? >> mine always was. they were excited about having us on their record as much as we were excited about doing it. >> and when we all get to the session, what are we going to do? it is fun. i don't know how they picked those people. what they said about us, they really feel that. they wouldn't go anywhere without us. my experience because every time you walk in the studio -- today, the young people go into the studio and they do their own thing. -- we wentheir caps to the studio like we were going to church but a level down. q jeans that looked like they were painted on us, makeup would be wonderful. we went in like wonderful women. we walked in the studio. t

. >> tata is bruce springsteen right, that 20 feet from the front of the stage, is it the longest walk imaginable in the sense that that's the treem, isn't it? but it's potentially the nightmare? >> yes. since you put it that way. it can be. but it can work for you, as well. it could be the greatest thing that could happen that walk to can be achieved. but some prefer to not make that walk. they prefer to be the frame so to speak. >> do you two, do you prefer to be backup singer or has the dream always been, mary, to be center stage yourself? >> well, you know, when i was singing background i always felt like i was center stage. >> right. >> because i mean, you know, if i was helping you out in your music and helping you out in your arrangements and the studio and i walk in the studio, you say, well, i'm saying what are we going to do? when you walk in the studio what do they want you to do? then they turn to you and they

springsteen retreats a little bit.lbum, if you will, devils and dust, which is not an easy listen. >> yeah. >> i think he decided i'm going to go back to the earliest traditions of american folk music. i'm going to listen to my pete seger. yes, george bush was elected. we're depressed about that. that doesn't mean we can't be buoyant in our music. >> and the flame of idealism was still not put out, which is remarkable. part of the way to get musicians excited about politics is to believe change can happen. i have to ask you this. the last we saw of bob dillon was this last weekend in a chrysler ad. when you talk about believing in the power of change, when you saw dillon do that, what was your response? >> dillon has had an ambivalent relationship around his fame of being a protester. he's at times said he's not a little figure right now. i wasn't particularly surprised about that. the music remains and endures. whatever he conceives of himself now, the music of the 60s will remain forever. >> which musician would you

so people make that leap. >> bruce springsteen talking about what you could call the unsung heros ofas backup singers. the film finally gives them their doo. tata vega has backed up michael jackson. later, i'll be joined by due jith hill who sunging with stevie wonder and elton john. welcome to all of you and happy valentine's day. >> same to you. >> so, this roll call of glor is extraordinary. you've sung with elvis presley, tom jones, rig go star, tore o tori amos. >> at that time ta, you sung with ray charles, madonna, elton john, steve wei wonder. michael jackson. it's extraordinary. here you are suddenly in this movie about your trade, about the backup singers and you've been oscar nominated. mary, how does that feel? >> it feels so incredible like i was saying to the girls, can you please just pinch me and let me know this is not a dream and we're living this. we have been riding on this red carpet ever since the film was picked up at sundance by the weinstein company. it's been incredible. >> tata is bruce springsteen right, that 20 feet from the front of the stage, is it the

"the new york times," bill, pointed out that governor christie is now seen as mortal, as if begrudgingly he'd been brought down from olympus. i mean that is the nature of jersey politics, give and take. look at this guy without his coat i
