Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History (1998) 1h.

Filmed in New Jersey, the documentary includes a rare interview with Springsteen in which he talks about Vietnam, his drug experiences (or lack of them) and his 30 year career which started in a hairdressing salon. There’s an exclusive acoustic performance of ‘Born In The USA’ performed in an Asbury Park bar plus footage from his legendary 1975 London Hammersmith Odeon gig including the seldom-performed ‘Man At The Top’, ‘Stand On It’ and ‘Janey Don’t Lose Your Heart’.

Blogness on the Edge of Town: review of 'Rose Tattoo', collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Bruce Springsteen benefitting Boston Marathon victims

Blogness on the Edge of Town: review of 'Rose Tattoo', collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Bruce Springsteen benefitting Boston Marathon victims:

First of all, given that the proceeds go to the Dropkick Murphys’ Claddagh Fund to help victims from the Boston Marathon bombings, this EP would be worth buying if it was 12 minutes of amp feedback. But it just so happens it’s worth your time and money based on its merits — the three songs included here stand on their own as stirring Irish punk shout-outs, in addition to being a rowdy, roiling F.U. to anyone who thinks Murphys’ beloved Boston could be cowed by anyone.

The EP is available on Itunes now!

BEST SPRINGSTEEN COVERS EVER, Volume 3

BEST SPRINGSTEEN COVERS EVER, Volume 3:

Deb stole my all-time favorite Springsteen cover in her recent roundup of covers, the first in our series. I’ve gone through phases of being so obsessed with Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “Dancing in the Dark” that I’ve almost forgotten what the original sounded like. She really makes the song her own and finds something in it that the listener may have missed in the original.

That’s generally my #1 criterion for a good cover, actually. I love it when an artist can take a song written by somebody else and, instead of just replicating the original, do something different with it and take the listener to a place they’ve never been with that song before. It can be jarring, especially if the original song is very familiar – but sometimes it’s good to be shaken up a bit, yes?

Listen, listen for a second. Tonight we’re here for the men and the women that fought the Vietnam War. Yesterday, yesterday I was lucky enough to have met some of these guys and it was funny because I’m used to coming out in front of a lot of people and I realised that, that I was, I was nervous and I was a little embarrassed about not knowing what to say to ‘em and…it’s like when you feel like you’re walking down a dark street at night and out of the corner of your eye you see somebody, you see somebody getting hurt or somebody getting hit in the dark alley, but you keep walking on because you think it don’t have nothing to do with you and you just want to get home. Well, Vietnam turned…turned this whole country into that dark street and unless we…unless we’re able to walk down those dark alleys and look into the eyes of the men and the women that are down there and the things that happened, we’re never gonna be able to get home and then it’s only a chance. You guys, you guys out there, you’re 18 or 19 years old..it happened once and it can happen again so I guess all I am saying is you gotta go down there and you gotta look and we got the easy part because there’s a lot of guys here tonight that had to live it, live it every day and there’s a lot of guys here that made it home to America but died and didn’t make it down here tonight. -Bruce Springsteen, introducing “Who’ll Stop the Rain?” at the Vietnam Veterans Benefit Concert, 20 August 1981

Burgers And Bruce: Beginner's Guide to 'Doing' Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live

Burgers And Bruce: Beginner's Guide to 'Doing' Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live:

Some people seem a little bemused when I express my love for Bruce and the band, but I know that there are people out there who’ve been intrigued enough to do a quick You Tube search, or even better - buy a ticket. With this in mind I decided to put together a short guide for those people who will be seeing Bruce and the band in concert for the first time this year. After years of practice, I’ve just about got this process mastered, and I am here to share the wisdom.

“I had a lot of hair, I had my Italian afro and I was really skinny. After that though I recognize myself. In a lot of ways, creatively I’m the same creature. I pursue my work with the same intensity and joy. I get the same joy out of it, if not more.”
