Former E Street Band member and "The Sopranos" star Steven Van Zandt opened up about his influence in ending apartheid in South Africa.
The group – which included Springsteen, Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Pat Benatar, Peter Gabriel, Bono and many more – created the song "Sun City" as a symbol of their opposition to apartheid. The tune was meant to raise awareness of the issue in order to prompt world governments to take action.
During an appearance Friday on "Real Time with Bill Maher," Van Zandt opened up about his time fighting the segregation system, receiving praise from the talk show host for working to change the world.
