Did anyone hear it? Nice to know it was being played on a station that has a "babe of the day". Does he work there?

Did the babe of the day introduce it?

I just want to know if it was played and how it sounds.

I don't believe it happened today. They are saying next week now.

I hate radio stations. I don't listen to them.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Me too.

^ not bowling me over, The Rising cover was much better.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, it's quite the plain setup. Perhaps it was intentional.

He did have just a plain white t-shirt on the Darkness cover, though (well, at least the back cover). Perhaps that's a good sign.

I'm thinking that other photo would have been better...

Oh well.

the Darkness cover

The inner sleeve of which was tacked up on my wall for at least a year.

The photo from Friday's annoucement kicked major butt. It would have been an awesome album cover. Oh well, indeed.

Bruce Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau told Rolling Stone last week that the tour for Springsteen’s upcoming album Magic “hasn’t been fully decided,” but according to one haphazard Ticketmaster page that went up this weekend, it’s been decided that he’s playing the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota with the E Street Band on November 2nd. The page appeared this weekend and has been since taken down, but we’ve saved the details for posterity: The floor appears to be general admission, just like the Rising tour of 2002 and ‘03. Tickets go on sale next Saturday at 10:00 AM, so expect an announcement of the whole tour sometime next week. He’s keeping the prices relatively low, just $55 to $85. Word is the tour begins in early October, soon after Magic is released. Click after the link for an image of the Ticketmaster page, which we slightly cropped to show the seating chart.

I don't like that picture of him

Not to mention that he looks like a raging egomaniac who is wearing a t shirt with his own name on it

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I agree, he looks pretty haggard in that picture.

I'm sure he'll be looking fine by the time the tour rolls around.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

He's still hot as hell

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

True - a haggard Bruce is better looking than a lot of non-rock god, well rested guys.

PS - LOVE it when this thread turns into a Bruce droolfest

I cannot wait for this new album!!!!! Very exciting! I hope it's as good as Jon Landau says it is. And a guitar driven, harder rocking album from Bruce and the E Streeters is exactly what I wanted! I like that picture (Bruce is looking younger and to me is even cooler nowdays) but I don't think its a good cover. It doesn't seem like tehy put much effort into it (but besides Born To Run Bruce's album covers are usually bad in my opinion). Hopefully they will change it later. I hope they play Radio Nowhere soon!

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Great thread by the way!!!

 

[martha]

5 stars!!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

It'd be five stars but it's highly lacking in Little Steven content.

 

[elevation2u]

Springsteen, unfortunately, has never really had good album covers. For the most part they were very 'meh'.

 

[jobob]

It'd be five stars but it's highly lacking in Little Steven content.

Here's a little Little Steven content: I'm hoping and praying Little Steven makes "Radio Nowhere" the next "Coolest Song in the World" on "Little Steven's Underground Garage."

So now are we a five-star thread?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I won't be happy until I've got pictures.

 

[martha]

5 stars!!
