Confessions of a Fanboy

All Hail 11 for his rumors have once again become The Truth. Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band have announced their first full-scale world tour since 2003.

The show kicks off in Hartford, CT on October 2, the same day as Magic is to be released. Connecticut fans are going to have to listen fast to get up to speed on the new songs. The US leg closes in Boston on November 18. One week later, the band heads to Spain for a run of European dates.

One annoying trend continues… he’s coming NOWHERE near me. No Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, or Memphis. This is unacceptable. Close examination of the dates show a strange gap between the Nov. 5 show in Auburn Hills (Detroit) and the Nov. 11 date in Washington D.C. Maybe they can slip into Atlanta there. I’m holding out hope. I have to see them on this tour.
