Bruce

There is something special about the Jersey shore…there is just a feel in the air when you approach the beach or the small bars and clubs that the local music has made famous.  In Bruce Springsteen’s music, the towns along the coast have become alive and well represented.  In this post, I would like to […]

You may have thought that by the time the band played their fourth European show that something new would have entered the setlist.  Well, this has not happened yet however, last night’s show was quite the crowd pleaser according to all reports.  Some nice rare stuff in there including two little gems from “Greetings.”  Other highlights […]

Bicycle spokes spin ’round
Jacket’s on, I’m out the door
Tonight I’m gonna burn this town down
And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in […]
