Bruce is doing something pretty cool on this tour, though. He has decided to play his best loved records from start to finish at certain stops on the tour. He's already played Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Born in the USA and The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. I would love to hear that last one live front to back. My favorite Bruce record. Coming up he plans on playing double record The River all the way through. Considering that his current record Working on a Dream really sucks, it is a good thing he's giving so much attention to older records. Speaking of sucking, I've heard his recent Halloween tune "A Night With the Jersey Devil." One of his worst songs ever, although I appreciate it was meant to be a seasonal novelty. Spirited video, though.

I'm sure you've seen the new Rolling Stone cover featuring Bono Jaggersteen. It's like an amalgam of every RS cover ever.
I was just reading on a blog about Jann Wenner and his control over the Rock and roll Hall of Fame. They were suggesting renaming it the Bonosteen Hall of Fame. Evidently in the latest Rolling Stone (I don't buy it anymore) there is a long Rock Hall section, and there are supposedly about 10 pictures each of Bono and Springsteen throughout, but hardly any photos featuring Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, etc.
Sprinsteen at his suckiest (that would be The Ghost of Tom Choad, BTW) is STILL more rock n' roll than Whitney Houston (crack addiction notwithstanding) could ever be!
