The Boss Is Hard At Work
No, I’m not talking about Jeff Brown. I’m talking about Bruce Springsteen. Not only is Bruce back on the road for more shows in support of his latest album “Magic”, but as he told USA Today this week, he’s also hard at work in the studio on two separate projects.
The first finds him once again working with the E Street Band and “Magic” producer Brendan O’Brien on a new group album. But Bruce is also ”recording on my own, for an acoustic record. I work on a lot of projects at once.”
I don’t know how you feel, but I can’t stand solo Bruce albums (with the exception of “Nebraska”). Neither “The Ghost of Tom Joad” or “Devils and Dust” did much for me. In fact, they both bored me to tears. I’m way more eager to hear another big rock record with his longtime bandmates.
Here’s some classic Boss from Toronto in 1984 for your weekend viewing pleasure. The song’s title is also your bonus code.
Have a great weekend!

I think you are right. The Boss is best with the E Street Band.
But I love him, no matter what. In fact, my whole family, including 2 sons age 12 and 17, had to come with me to Detroit last fall to see him, because the ACC was sold out and Hamilton was not on the List yet. But luckily we scored Tickets for Monday night in Hamilton and this time the Kids are looking forward to the show, because they saw how great these guys are, back in Detroit. Watching the clip from 1984, I must say that I like him better, the older he gets!
