Bruce Springsteen

By emscee Nashville is a great songwriters town. I love it to death, and I have a lot of friends there. But I kind of blame Music Row for perpetrating this myth of "The Real America" that McCain and, to a greater extent, Palin used to rile people up, make them distrust Obama, and have them contemplating mo...

By Masoo 2. The Donnas, "Take It Off." Another song from this album, "Who Invited You," was included in a video game I played a few times. It was the first time I really understood how many money-making options are available to today's musical artists.

By Davis Presley The above quote is a response Lester gave when asked if his opinion of Rolling Stone magazine had changed. I was gonna say that Lester would be spinning in his grave over the current state of your magazine, but he obviously didn't care about you when he was still breathing. Why this magazine is...

By Indiana they're from New Jersey (natch) and they have struck chords of urgency and passion inside of me something fierce. Lead singer Brian Fallon grew up in a home four blocks from E Street (yes, that one) and their music pays a nod to urgent elements of Springsteen, the Hold Steady and Lucero. Bring...

By Terry Staunton of MOG There was a period, stretching over the best part of two decades, where Roy was in the wilderness, condemned to poorly-staged nostalgia shows and low-rent supper clubs, but the essence of his music could still be heard in Bruce Springsteen (Born To Run), Elvis Costello (Alison) or Tom Wa...

By tmogger of MOG With Election Day technically underway with early voting going down in 25 states, musicians continue to throw some last-minute support to Barack Obama.

By Mark Mordue Is it right then to say the big game is over for the United States of America? Despite pundits by the pound leaping upon phrases like "the end of the American century" I see no desire for us to witness an end to our love of rock ‘n’ roll or jazz or blues, or great American films, or TV shows like Ent...

By Bumpershine Due to the "catastrophic success" of their annual display Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa are not putting on a big Halloween spectacle this year at their mansion in Rumson, NJ. Instead, from October 31 until November 2, Bruce is handing out a free mp3 and video for "A Night With...

By Masoo 6. Rage Against the Machine, "The Ghost of Tom Joad." The video, of Tom Morello guesting with Bruce and the E Street Band, is the definition of incendiary. 10. Bruce Springsteen, "Land of Hope and Dreams." Don't forget to vote next Tuesday. Say Amen, Somebody!

By Kevbo I didn't in revulsion listen to, say, Ted Nugent, Bruce Springsteen, Iron Maiden or Skynyrd, but I couldn't stomach all those (mostly) British weirdoes wearing mascara and odd hair and lots of hairspray or hair gel and moping and whining and being so effing dour. Their fans were pretty muc...

By linda jacqueline I’m not saying all other band in town suck…they’re just irrelevant. This song they claim is a cover version of Bruce Springsteen "Fire", haven’t heard the original, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t share any resemblence at all, except for the lyrics…

By Anyone's Guess You compare us to a lot of really great bands (Arcade Fire, the National, Bright Eyes, Bruce Springsteen) and even if your intention was to cut us down, you end up describing us as: "lyrically moody, musically sumptuous and dramatic." One is left only to conclude that you m ust think those th...

By MusicDish There are more rock-and-pop-influenced singer-songwriters on the musical landscape than there are punk rock bands - I guarantee it. So if you're going to make music in this style, you'd better have something that sets you apart from the stumbling herd. At the very least, you need to have a f...

By emscee A few days ago, I heard "Loose Ends" on my iPod. It's one of those Bruce songs that almost got away, an outtake that finally emerged on "Tracks," and it's a real favorite of mine, a song that smacks musically of "The River" (from whence it almost came) and lyrically looks ahead to the tortured l...

By emscee So I get back from Nashville and look at "Backstreets" to check in on Springsteen news, and it turns out that this is what was played at the 5/7 show. Set one: all of the "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" album. Set two: all of the "Born To Run" album. I won't even discuss the encore. OK, just shoot me, lik...

By Masoo When Danny Federici recorded solo albums, he took a smooth jazz approach that sounded nothing like his E Street Band work. I mention all of this mainly to note that Danny, like everyone else in the band, had skills that went unused when he supported Bruce. And with his passing, it is worth ment...

By Mike the Knife By now, most who care must have noted the news that Danny Federici, longtime keyboardist for Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, has passed away. If you ever heard his tender, wistful accordion on Springsteen's “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy),” he surely touched you. That was just...

By MrFrost of MOG “Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest. He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next President.
