  6. "Working on the Highway" is a 1984 song written and performed by #BruceSpringsteen. It was released on the album #BornInTheUSA and has remained a popular concert song for Springsteen and the #EStreetBand. As with some of the other songs on the Born in the U.S.A. album, including "Downbound Train" and #theTitleTrack, "Working on the Highway" was originally recorded on January 3, 1982, with the demo tracks that eventually became the #Nebraska album.

  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.

    What are your Meat Loaf memories? Let us know in the comments!

  8. The Rising

    #brucespringsteen #theboss #brucespringsteenandtheestreetband #therising #y2krock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Sometime after 9/11, just another guy on the street notices The Boss, pulls over, rolls down his window and says, "Bruce ... we need you." Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band came together and released The Rising on July 20, 2002. Instead of the political stuff, Bruce deals with personal loss, community and resilience.

  9. Darren Aronofsky – „The Whale“ (2022)

    Jetzt mal ehrlich: Dieser Film war ein Monster. Auch wenn es „nur“ drei Oscars dafür gab, hat dieses kleine Kammerspiel für mich 22/23 die Saison als größte Überraschung dominiert. Es war schlicht unglaublich, was Darren Arronofsky und Brendan Fraser aus einem Theaterstück extrahiert und gemeinsam auf die Leinwand gebracht haben. (ARD, Wh.)

  10. Have soul, will share. (Or a deep dive into the philosophy of nothing)

    Daily writing prompt Do you believe in soulmates? Why or why not? View all responses

    I don’t know if I believe in soulmates or not. I’d like to believe soulmates are real, but I’ve never met one. Although, in fairness, I’ve never really put myself out there to meet a soulmate. I’d like to think that’s the reason because the only other reason would be that maybe I don’t have a soul. Yikes!

    A lot of marriages end in divorce. Most, I believe, within the first 10 years, with still a significant number after 25 years of marriage. So if soulmates are really a thing, why do a lot of marriages end in divorce? And why after such a long time? Boredom? I don’t think a soulmate would ever be someone a person would get bored with. Trust? Wouldn’t trust be a given in a soulmate? Infidelity? Why would a soulmate cheat? A soulmate is destiny, and I don’t believe the pain of divorce, the curse of boredom, the violation of distrust, the trauma of infidelity is our destiny as humans. Maybe, if soulmates do exist, people are just plain bad at recognizing them. But even with that, wouldn’t a soulmate be someone you’d recognize on a level that transcends visual recognition?

    A bunch of questions and I have no idea about any of them.

    I guess the existence of soulmates isn’t important to me because a soulmate doesn’t interest me as much as true friendship does.

    “Now we went walking in the rain talking about the pain from the world we hid. Now there ain’t nobody, nowhere nohow gonna ever understand me the way you did” – Bruce Springsteen, Bobby Jean

    I think if soulmates exist they exist within a friendship, a platonic connection, and not as a romantic concept.

    The only way to deal with unanswerable questions is through loud music and whatever it is you call dance.

  11. 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.

  12. ‘I have seen rock & roll’s future and his name is Bruce Springsteen’.

    Rolling Stone critic (at the time) Jon Landau after seeing Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band open for Bonnie Raitt ~ May 9, 1974, at the Harvard Square Theater in Cambridge, MA. Landau would later become The Boss' manager. See more of Barry Schneier's gorgeous pics from that night here ...

  16. Human Touch

    The Boss releases his first major work without The E Street Band on March 31, 1992. It's famously released with another album -- Lucky Town. Human Touch was nominated for Best Rock Vocal Performance at the '93 Grammys. That's Randy Jackson on bass and Jeff Porcaro on drums. #brucespringsteen #theboss #springsteen #humantouch #90srock #rockmusic #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jeffpocaro #jonlandau

  20. With numbers like these, Donald #Trump cannot win a fight with Bruce #Springsteen.

    The president's approval ratings are little over half the musician's.

    A significant chunk of #MAGA loves #BruceSpringsteen, mostly 'cos they don't get irony.

    So Trump's strategy should be to shrug off #TheBoss. But he won't, 'cos no #narcissist shrugs off mockery.

    This time, Trump's spokesperson has been restrained so far, unlike Trump's outburst in May 2025. But I can't see Trump holding back for long.

  21. Habe auch zu bzw. gegen #ICE eine gute Nachricht, @Speckdaene !

    Vor wenigen Minuten veröffentlichte der große #BruceSpringsteen ein starkes Video zu seinem Protestsong "Streets of #Minneapolis" !

  22. 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).

  25. Giuseppe Tornatore – „Maestro Ennio Morricone“ (2021)

    Ennio Morricone hat das Kino nicht nur begleitet, sondern ihm eine eigene Seele verliehen. Tornatores Dokumentarfilm entfaltet die Klangwelt des größten Filmkomponisten von allen, wie ein orchestriertes Gedächtnis: Western, Thriller, Drama – jede Szene ein Crescendo, jede Melodie ein Fenster in die Seele eines Films. Ein Porträt, das die Musik, das Leben und das Kino Morricones untrennbar miteinander verwebt. (ARTE, Wh.)
