Some good Bruce Springsteen humor
I caught this bit of Springsteen humor via John Soeder’s Pop Music blog. The video below is another gem from Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die website. Comedian Pete Hulne could be a really big Springsteen fan, and if that’s not the case, he’s certainly studied his share of Springsteen videos, etc. to nail the subtle […]
Quick Hits: Tim Russert, Bruce Springsteen, Night Ranger
Another Saturday morning in Cleveland – last night we were supposed to get a mother of a storm, but honestly, I zonked out after being out late at the Iron Maiden concert the night before. I got a little bit soaked Friday night going from the rapid station to my car, but everything else after […]
Top 5: Album Openers

Springsteen plays another cool show + this blog gets a cool mention
First up, I’m stoked by the quick plug that this blog got at Stone Pony London, one of the main discussion boards for Springsteen fans, and also one of my favorite web surfs. While I was at SPL, I came across news of ANOTHER really cool show, to go with the really cool show that […]
Just in Time for Summer – Bruce Springsteen & The E. Street Band – Live at the Cleveland Agora 8/9/78
Springsteen fans worldwide were salivating on Thursday morning as details began to circulate of a Bruce Springsteen benefit concert from that previous night at the historic Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ. The benefit show was an event that had been set up to raise money for the purpose for restoring the 80 year […]
Bruce Springsteen’s eulogy for Danny Federici
When people want to know why I have such a strong love for Bruce’s music, and Bruce as a person, I’ve always got at least one example that I can point to. Now, here is the latest example as posted at brucespringsteen.net: The eulogy as delivered by Bruce Springsteen, for 40 year E. Street Band […]
A few more Danny Federici thoughts, and a web link for the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund
I woke up yesterday morning to an email in my inbox from my friend Chris, telling me that Danny Federici, keyboard player for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band had passed away after three years of battling melanoma. I posted my initial thoughts here. I sent my old boss Tony (my frequent Springsteen companion,) a text […]
