New Springsteen single out today

And?

The point of the lyrics is the girls are passing the protagonist by and he got dumped and finding solace in a nice night. Did you want it to be rollicking?

 

“Bloody hell, Bruce, what the fuck is a speedball?”

 

Huge Bruce influencees Arcade Fire dropped an album in early May and I had no idea.

 

It was fine. I like Lightning I, II and Unconditional I, but the album was kinda a watered-down version of all of their best albums. Still better than Everything Now.

 

Five New York-area shows at four arenas, including the unloved child that is Barclays. The Boss indeed. Though I imagine even he is a little melancholy not to be playing Nassau Coliseum again.

 

The nature of tour stops and dates fascinates me. No California, no Chicago.

I know the dates themselves are down to venue availability, but how tours jump from one region to another (Washington-Detroit-New York is not a straight line, nor is Brooklyn-Cleveland-Baltimore) is interesting.

 

No Canadian stop(s) either

 

Ticket prices will probably be astronomical. Cost me $5 the last time I saw him, which was the second time and twice is good enough for me.

Looks like a great tour. He'll love Portland and Seattle in February.

 

There's a second leg scheduled, so I'm sure those cities/areas will get covered. But yeah that's a strange itinerary beginning with the Connecticut casino show.
