Amazon.com Widgets Song : "Livin' In The Future" Artist : Bruce Springsteen Album : Magic This past Saturday, I was fortunate enough to attend Philcon in Cherry Hill, NJ. You may ask: "Shouldn't Philcon take place in Philadelphia?"

Three songs into Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band’s blazing set at 1st Mariner Arena, Baltimore, a city that had not had a tour stop from the band in over three decades, got its catharsis.

John Fogerty's Blue Ridge Rangers Tour show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre on Saturday November 21st brought together hundreds of middle aged gents and their wives, girl friends and significant others at feast and celebration of musical artistry void of posturing and narcissism.

You can forgive the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a bit of fuzzy math in calling this their 25th anniversary. First and foremost, any excuse to put on a star-studded concert event like this is going to be accepted. (Just is.) Secondly, they're really splitting the difference, given that it was founded in 1983 but didn't have an induction until three years later. Recorded over two nights (October 29-30)...

As “Miami Steve”, Van Zandt has served for a couple of decades, with a break from 1984 through the mid-nineties, as Bruce Springsteen’s onstage foil – sort of the quiet anti-Clarence-Clemons of the band. And while a lot of [...]

Today is the birthday of Steven (Little Steven) Van Zandt , guitar player in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band , which gives me the opportunity to delve into the deep cut side of things in the Bruce catalog. This song comes from Darkness on the Edge of Town and isn't something you hear everyday, possibly because of its execution, possibly because free form radio is virtually dead, possibly because...
