I want Bruce to challenge himself. The guy is an ace guitar player...let him be the lone guitar player in a band I'd like to see Bruce hook up with a good rhythm section and either a second guitar player or a keyboard player. I am one of the few tramps who really liked what he initially did with the 'other band'. But playing E Street Band songs with another band defeats the purpose of working with other artists. As it is constituted now (three electric guitar players, bass, drums, sax, violin and backing vox, two keyboard players, acoustic guitar and backing vox and two background singer

Not really sure that is an appropriate choice. It is about as sincere as "Thank You Friends"

Think I just found a name for my band

The schtick with the loops may be old hat...but I still dig it

So let me get this straight... The same Cowboy team that shit the bed against the Packers; allowed David Gerrard to do something that JOHNNY FUCKING UNITAS never did against a Cowboy team (pass for four touchdowns in a game); and had a top round draft pick corner ole a tackle actually KICKED THE SHIT out of the Giants today? REALLY>???

I know...it's amazing that you aren't allowed to drive for six months after you have openheart surgery and he is on tour. And if Bruce were to do a stripped down tour, I would want him to have totally new collaborators/sidemen.

Max has just had major open heart surgery, Clarence is getting old and is suffering from dicey health, Bruce and Patty have been rumored to have some problems (probably crap...it kind of died down after a week or so of internet gossip mongering), so I would really be surprised if another major tour was in the offing. I hope Bruce puts together a stripped down band and actually tries something new. The Seeger Sessions Band stuff was really mold breaking, but I would like to see him hit the road with some young lions (as it looked like he was intending in 92)and raise hell. The 12-member vers

I have a motto I live by. It is if from John Lennon and it pertains to most, if all of life's circumstance: Whatever gets you through the night...it's alright. I'm trying really hard to cease being judgemental.

So...You've joined the cult. Congratulations and welcome! Assuming you have gone Chronologically (Greetings, TWTIATESS, BTR and Darkness) after discovering Bruce through Magic, I would recommend three to try next: Nebraska --- This one is a stark, alternately brutal and beautiful, raging acoustic tour de force. Tunnel of Love --- This is Bruce's first in depth examination of the politics of PERSONAL relationships. Knownig he recorded Brilliant Disguise in his garage studio while his wife was in the house is just chilling. There's trouble in paradise and Bruce is striving to comprehend the

Agreed...but I still miss Mark Holtz

Bruce has always been about connections, ties. After Danny died, I was hoping that DAvid Sancious might be convinced to rejoin the fold.

I found this part of the story heartwarming: I always thought it was a real shame that such a true believer as Mike became such an adversary. Appel was castigated for being abrasive, but he had one goal...one thought. Make Bruce Springsteen a star. When things went sour, he brought the same single minded focus to bear on the lawsuit. Time really does heal all wounds.
