the rescheduled dates from his recent voice issues are for summer 2025 - which seems to suggest that the tour is going to continue beyond the current dates, as it seems unlikely that they'll go back for just two shows.

Happy 40th birthday to Born In The U.S.A.
A true classic even if it doesn't match the heights of his seminal 70's albums. I was 13 in 1984 and this album, along with Purple Rain, was the soundtrack for me that summer, so it holds a special place in my heart.
A lost opportunity to finally release a box set of it this year, but then again Springsteen and company haven't really followed that timeline when releasing retrospectives, so hopefully it will still come to fruition one day.

The highs are absolutely exceptional, no doubt about that. The earnest Americana of the tracks I don't like makes it unlistenable as an album for me though.
Considering apparently no NJ stadium shows this year, that doesn’t surprise me.

the first album i ever owned. got it on cassette as a birthday present as a young child, like early grade school. loved it then, still do today. couple songs i could do without.
i can remember laying awake at night listening to "my hometown" and finding it so unbearably sad -- "seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more" -- that i'm not sure i've ever quite recovered. so many lines still have a hold in my brain -- "all it ever does is rain" or "a knife, baby, edgy and dull" and "i want to change my hair my clothes my face" -- so sad and borderline creepy, but also empathetic.
it shaped me.

He cancelled the dates in Europe because of voice problems. I read rumors that he is concerned that these voice problems could mean the end of his career, hopefully it's not true. But if it is he sure had a great one, and he is a legend forever.
I'm so glad I have had the absolute privilege of his music and his live performances. And to briefly meet him, that was a treasure. Sadly I didn't get a photo but it lives in my heart.

well he played last night in Spain and apparently things went well... but yea, this is in all likelihood the final stand for the Mighty E Street Band.
which means god damn it i'm going to have to go and get some tickets to either Nats Park or Camden Yards.
There’s no way he calls it without a final stand in Jersey.
I am not doom & gloom on the voice issues yet. He’s old, he’s playing long shows, he could probably use more down time. We’re a long way from Bon Jovi territory.

let's be honest - he also doesn't have to hit the high notes, which helps.
and i totally agree. i think there's this year and then next year (obviously already has shows scheduled in europe) - and i think that this tour will end with a long stand at MetLife that will be his last shows. whether they're announced as the last ones or not, i dunno... but i think everyone knows that this is in all likelihood it.

RIP Charles R. Cross, founder of Backstreets.
That magazine was my Springsteen lifeline before the Internet.

Saw Bruce on Wednesday night. Impressed that they can still bring what they can bring at this point in their careers.

Bruce Springsteen spotted at Jersey Shore pizzeria while working on new movie about his life
The Boss eating Jersey pizza. What could be more Jersey than that?
Scott Cooper is directing a biopic about Bruce, and Jeremy Allen White is playing Bruce
I did what I pretty much always just assumed I would do and picked up tickets for Springsteen. I thought I'd get them at Camden Yards and do a PJ/Bruce back to back evening in Baltimore next Thursday/ Friday, but instead we went with Saturday night at Nats Park, setting up the Bruce/Killers back to back instead.
Dustland Fairytale, indeed.

Very sad to read this, I had a bad feeling that Patti had a health issue and that's why she wasn't touring

Hopefully she is doing OK with it. Says it was early stage when they diagnosed it.

Holy shit 
I'd kill for that ^ Meeting Across the River is genuinely on my Bruce Rushmore (Jungleland / Moonlight Motel / Dancing in the Dark / Meeting Across the River). Why so many specials for this show?

I presume because of its location: on the beach at Asbury Park

Today is his 75th Birthday
when i think about Bruce being a year older than my parents and still doing what he does, it truly baffles the mind
