  7. Double date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music for Tuesday Night Record Club featuring Meat Loaf

    On the way down, we love doing selfies driving over the Driscoll Bridge

    My good friend Lynn and I in front of the center

    Double-date night at Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, us, Lynn & Doug. Tuesday Night Record Club did Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell.”
    The first I heard of Meat Loaf was on WNEW-FM during the Phil Rizzuto part of “Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I was only 13 or 14 and couldn’t wait to hear who it was. Meat Loaf. I thought that was the name of the band and went out and got the album. Shortly afterwards, Meat Loaf was at Willowbrook Mall signing autographs.
    I got to meet the legendary Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. I was disappointed that Ellen Foley wasn’t there. I still have Meat Loaf’s autograph in a box somewhere. My uncle laminated it for me.
    (There’s a lot more to the story, but maybe another time).
    Meat Loaf temporarily pushed Queen out of first place in my record collection. They were my first concert and I had an 11 o’clock curfew at 13 or 14. This was at Montclair State College before they became a University. Seeing all the cool older kids, I felt too young and awkward and couldn’t wait to be older and buy cooler clothes and look more like a teenager instead of a kid. A fabulous cover band called Stars (not to be confused with Starz) was the warm-up band. They came out doing “Magical Mystery Tour.”
    THEN Meat Loaf! I only got to see half of the show in order to get home for curfew. I walked out of the show backwards to soak up every last bit. It was exactly how you see in the videos — Meat Loaf with his long flowing hair, and sweat pouring down his face. Gorgeous Karla DeVito in that legendary white jumpsuit. Front and center, they stood out more than any of the band members. (Three years later at 17, I’d miss my midnight curfew when I saw The Stranglers at Aldo’s getting home at 3 a.m. and getting in big trouble). To this day, I regret not blowing curfew for Meat Loaf.
    Anyway, the presentation was put on by Ken Womack, and his guest for the evening was Ray Andersen who was in Meat Loaf’s touring band.

    It was so awesome listening to tracks from that album. I forgot how epic “For Crying Out Loud” was. Another standout for me, which they didn’t play last night was “Heaven Can Wait.”

    I forgot how beautiful Meat Loaf’s voice was.

    And I forgot that “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth” was a video on MTV.

    I do remember the Meat Loaf bio pic that was shown on VH1. I have to look that up and watch it again.

    Meat Loaf was also known for being in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  8. "Secret Garden" is a song by American musician #BruceSpringsteen. It was originally released as a single from his #GreatestHits album on February 27, 1995, on #ColumbiaRecords. Upon its initial release, it peaked at number 63 on the US #Billboard Hot 100. Two years later, after being featured on the soundtrack for the 1996 movie #JerryMaguire, it was re-released as a two-track single, which featured a live version of "#ThunderRoad".

  9. Protest songs at Nationals Park

    It’s been less than 14 years since I last saw Bruce Springsteen play a concert at Nationals Park, but it feels like decades have passed since those innocent days of 2012. The nation and the world have changed in unpleasant and unsettling ways, those years have left their wear on me… and somehow the Boss barely seems to have aged.

    Springsteen’s music, however, resonated in new ways Wednesday night against the backdrop of the second Trump administration’s cruelty, corruption and crime–and Springsteen’s up-to-the-minute denunciations of it, including commentary on this week’s abuses of power at ICE’s Delaney Hall prison outside Newark.

    So “No Surrender,” released in 1984 on an album I got on tape, sounded very much of 2026’s moment in this setting. As Springsteen said towards the end of the night: “No one is coming to save us. So we have to do it ourselves.”

    Likewise, the angry words in “The Promised Land” about being lied to (about what exactly is left to the listener’s imagination) hit in a way they hadn’t before when Springsteen and the E Street Band lit into that 1978 release right after “Streets of Minneapolis”–the song he wrote in January after government agents shot and killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti on those frozen streets.

    That reminder of the crimes committed by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security then made “American Skin (41 Shots)” more arresting than before. People in the Twin Cities probably have some words about how in Trump 2.0’s thuggish version of the United States, you can get killed just for living in your American skin.

    A cover of the Clash’s “Clampdown” on which Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello took turns on vocals itself picked up a little new relevance when heard in a neighborhood that has picked up a reputation, maybe undeserved, as a Republican hangout. As Mick Jones and Joe Strummer wrote in the late 1970s: “No man born with a living soul / can be working for the clampdown.”

    Hearing “Youngstown” later in the set, I had to think the protagonist would have voted for Trump three times in a row. Would that embittered man be rethinking those choices now that Trump’s promises to renew industrial America have proved as empty as his pledges to most people besides January 6 insurrectionists? Or would he still be looking for somebody to blame?

    When many other boldface names in American society keep pretending that this administration is just another presidency, Springsteen is calling out Trump’s regime with the vocabulary it deserves. That is called honesty, and it’s only one of the reasons why his work keeps speaking to me more than four decades after I started listening to it.

  10. "My Hometown" is a single by the American singer-songwriter #BruceSpringsteen from his #BornInTheUSA album as its closing track, that was the #thenrecordtyingSeventhAndLastTop10Single to come from it, peaking at #7 on the #CashBox Top 100 and #6 on the #Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

  11. "Freeway of Love" is a song by American singer #ArethaFranklin. It was written by #JeffreyCohen and #NaradaMichaelWalden and produced by the latter for Franklin's thirtieth studio album, #WhosZoominWho (1985).

Released as the album's lead single on June 5, 1985.

  15. Video cube “Auf Schalke”

    June 2025

    This picture was made before a concert by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Schalke Arena.
    During the concert, a metal part fell from this cube into the audience.
    A few rock fans suffered minor injuries.

    Apart from that, the concert was great – like all Boss concerts I've seen so far (and there have been quite a few).

  16. "When we play together, we are more than white and Black"
    From my song "Come Across the Tracks," inspired by the true story of 2 future E Street Band members coming together in de facto segregated Asbury Park in the mid-60s. 🎸🎷

  17. Mal ne Frage in die Gemeinde.
    Sind für euch #texte in der #musik wichtig?
    Hört ihr zu?
    z. B.
    #thepolice - #everybreathyoutake
    Lied über nen #stalker, aber als ewiges #Liebeslied berühmt
    #BruceSpringsteen - #bornintheusa
    #usa kritischer Song, wird aber als #Hymne für das Land überall gespielt
    Oder #PaulHardcastle - 19
    Riesen #dance Nummer ausse #80er, die den #floor gefüllt hat, prangert aber das Durchschnittsalter im #Vietnamkrieg an.
    Sind nur Beispiele, daher wie ist das bei euch?

  19. "We bought the illusion completely. We thought the Beatles were best friends, the Rolling Stones were best friends, The Who, the Kinks. We didn't know they were having fist fights," he says. "We made that illusion real — and I think that's the appeal of the E Street Band to this day, communicating that friendship." Steven Van Zandt.
