Springsteen, Part II

[SeattleVertigo]

My husband, a non-fan, perhaps even an anti-fan, said it sounded like 867-5309.

He may be right.

No way -- I don't see that at all!

And I am NOT going to go download that song to find out -- just going from memory here! <laughs> That Jenny song is not allowed on my computer.

He may be right.

Opening guitar chords for certain.

And the "is there anybody alive out there" line, does sound a bit like the "867-5309" line.

We have a winner.

Bruce Tutone??

 

[phanan]

That opening chord sequence may sound a bit like it, but I don't think the "is there anybody alive out there" line is similar at all.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I hear it, too.

It was actually my first thought when I listened to it the first time, but I still like it.

 

[martha]

He'll be pleased.

In a smart-ass way.

The guitar opening reminds me of "Don't Fear the Reaper." Different, but similar.

You're bad.















as a side note, I saw BOC in a stadium once.

 

[phanan]

Radio Nowhere is great to listen to in the car.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'd like tour dates this week pls, k thx.

 

[Pop Artist]

"Radio Nowhere" is a legit free download now from http://www.radionowheredownload.com or iTunes.

 

[phanan]

Yeah, I saw that. Nice to hear it without the cutoff. I'm pumped for this whole album.

The tour should be announced at any moment now, possibly today. Especially with some of the shows supposedly going on sale this Saturday.

Yep, today is definitely looking to be the day, looks like tix to the German dates are already on sale!

 

[phanan]

I like the artwork for the Radio Nowhere single much better than the album.

Should have been the album cover and title. He doesn't need to be on every single one.

 

[martha]

Thanks for the iTunes heads up.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I like that too

Did anyone see the article about Patti in this week's People Magazine? She talks about Bruce making pancakes

Tasty.

Er, by that I mean the pancakes. :ahem:

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Tour dates are up on their site: http://www.brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html

Albany is on a school night and Philadelphia tickets will probably be impossible to get since it's the second show of the tour, so I'm going to hope there's a bigger second leg sometime next year.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok you have got to fucking be kidding me.

I'll be arriving in NYC when Detroit goes on sale.

 

[phanan]

This is just like The Rising tour, sort of a quick barnstorm through the U.S. the first time through, and then to Europe.

I like the band photo on the website.

 

[phanan]

I love how he talks to Backstreets now - he's really acknowledging his fan base when he does that. They've got a little exclusive interview with him up right now.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

What? No Seattle dates? I hope there's a second U.S. leg.

 

[phanan]

Oh, don't worry. There will be a more extensive second leg in 2008. This is exactly how The Rising tour started, with a few select cities, before going to Europe. When he came back for the second leg, he went to many other places, including Seattle. He'll definitely be there.

As for the first leg, Chicago and Boston look to be obvious locations where a second show will be added.

Cool.

I'll actually be in Connecticut when he's in NYC for two nights in October, but I don't imagine those tickets will come cheap or easy!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll add a second Detroit show that'll go on sale when I can actually buy tickets.

Whose bright idea was it to put concert tickets on sale during the week, anyway?

 

[phanan]

Yeah, weird how some dates are on a weekday.

[Nightsong]

Weekend dates seem to be lacking.....
