Bruce Springsteen

[RussellEbertHandball]

I have been meaning to post this link for a while but keep forgetting.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/bruce-springsteen

Just keep going to the bottom of the page and it keeps expanding like twitter and facebook pages, all the way back to articles from 1973 on the Boss.

Just about anything every written in Rolling Stone about Bruce and or the E Street band is linked. There are videos, photo gallaries, stories etc. If Bruce made their top 100 guitarists that story is linked. And there are links with in each story. You can go off on some massive tangents, as I have over the last few months.

Its a great rescource.

Just wait. It's happening.

If you are going to try and excite us why don't you typing something like...

I have a contact/mate/family member who works for the tour promoter... or

I have a contact/mate/family member who works for his record company - sony music .... or

I have a contact/mate/family member who works for Docklands stadium and he has been booked for the moth of xxxx or on the following days.... or

I have a contact/mate/family member who works ticketing company and they have been told to gear up for an xxx date ticket sale for yyyy dates in zzzz month.

You know, something with a bit of substance to it, just a reasonable bit more than, I met this bloke who has a mate, whose cousin works with this women who yadda yadda yadda.

Fair enough. I have two people, who don't know each other, who have been very reliable in the past, who have told me that Bruce is locked in for March 2013.

This is good news. I've never understood why they let him out in the first place.

What are their jobs?

What are their jobs?

Seriously?

One is a photographer and one is currently unemployed.

If you're asking if it is a direct link to Springsteen then no, it's not.

Yes seriously. You can't just come out and make these claims without expecting to be asked 20 questions.

Happy Birthday Little Stevie!!!

(Imagine your birthday being the day John F Kennedy was assassinated. I guess no one could forget .... )

Hey pjcrows. Srs, one of my best friend's weddings is on March 9, I'm locked in, and what kind of person would I be if I missed Bec's wedding for Springsteen, if Bruce is playing in Sydney/Melbourne that weekend I WILL NOT COPE. You have to be more succinct. You just can't say this stuff and not be accurate!

STRESS.

 

[jpkennedy]

Meanwhile. I have a bit of money saved up, and will keep saving to see as many shows as possible if this turns out to be true!

I have heard from two people, who have given me accurate info in the past for various tours, that he's coming in March. Since then I have read online that the Melbourne shows are on Easter weekend, and the Sydney at Allphones rumour has been floating for weeks. That's the info I have. Next time I will keep my mouth shut until its official.

 

[jpkennedy]

Well Easter is late March. So that all works out

One thing ive learned is to never make plans - or not make plans - until an official announcement. But I wouldn't post my 'info' unless I thought it had legs.

 

[jpkennedy]

Fingers crossed pj. Fingers crossed!

Let's hope you're right mate.

 

[pjcrows]

And I probably should have posted the source of my info earlier. I just didn't want to make it "a big deal". But now I think about it, and there's not much more that could be a bigger deal than a Boss tour, but I digress.

If my info is wrong, I will cop any flak, and deservedly. Put it this way - I'm already looking at Webjet for flight prices in mid-late March.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

If Melbourne is Easter weekend, then Brisbane after Melbourne please FFS. If not, trip to Melbourne it is.

 

[Cruyff14]

I just hope you're right. Not getting too excited yet though.

Getting ready to head out for my work charity ball, waiting for my nails to dry, trying not to ruin my tan or hair, listening to this!

Thought you were a bloke for some reason.

OFF YOU SCREAM INTO THE NIGHT.

Where does a song like Darlington County rate for people? Only heard it this year, I think it's great. Obviously not an epic by any means, but it's fun, catchy, and has this feel good thing about it. Been playing it a lot lately.

the flip? You'd never listened to Born in the USA all the way through?

Very solid pop number, works well live. Doesn't touch Bobby Jean, Downbound Train or Dancing in the Dark, though.

I'll tell you what's an overrated song from this album, My Hometown. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
