Admitted Bruce Springsteen stan Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., drew fashion inspiration from Steven Van Zandt, rocking bandannas as he underwent chemo. When the guitarist heard about it, he gifted the Maryland lawmaker some of his own.
Raskin announced in December that he was undergoing chemotherapy to treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a “serious but curable form of cancer.” The lawmaker said his cancer treatment would “cause hair loss and weight gain.” Raskin told CNN he was losing his hair rapidly.
Within a month, he was seen wearing bandannas to committee meetings. Raskin told the Huffington Post that he was inspired by Van Zandt of the E Street Band, whom he has “always loved.”
