“I always say when I first met Bruce he kind of seems like surprisingly shy, considering he goes out there and sings before tens of thousands of people for hours at a time,” Barack told CBS Sunday Mornings at the time.

He continued: “And we just ended up being in settings where we had these long conversations and I thought the things we’re talking about — what does it mean to be a man, what does it mean to be an American? These were things that were just kind of popping up over a meal … and I thought, You know what? This might be something that would be useful for folks to hear.”
