Check out Backstreets for the full story on Hard Rock Calling officials pulling the plug on Bruce & Sr Paul McCartney at the Hyde Park show. Regardless of the sad, pathetic ending, this was one of the greatest shows in E Street Band history, we’re proud and honoured to have been there. (And really rather embarrassed about our country’s miserable Health & Safety-&-No-Fun-Please-We’re-British Police.)
Frenzy in Firenze: Yes, that’s exactly where I was last night (a couple of rows in front of the photographer’s spot). As the dude says in the Backstreets review: “This is not a singer. This is a religion.”
