The countdown is over. It’s finally here. I’ll soon be getting in the car and heading for Atlanta to see my first ever Bruce Springsteen show. Because I’m a very bad man I’m tempted to fill this post with all sorts of virginal imagery and how there’s nothing like the first time. [...]

I am not going to bore you all with all the reasons I didn’t properly promote Dan Wilson’s appearance on the B-Sides Concept Album. Life intervened on what seemed like every different front and it just didn’t happen.

Transcription is a painful, painful process if you give 1/10th of a fuck about being accurate and honest about what was said and I do.

Everybody deserves an afternoon like I had today. I don’t know what I expected, but the entire experience was so much more and so much better than I ever could have dreamed.
There is a perception — no, a caricature, that persists about Adam Duritz. I don’t know what the right words for it [...]

It is with a real sense of sadness that I begin today by talking about the passing of Dan Federici, who lost his battle with melanoma cancer in New York City yesterday. He was 58.
Federici was a founding member of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street band and had played with Bruce for 40 [...]

It has become clear to me that I am operating on a higher plane than you mere mortals. Actually it has been clear to me for some time but it is even more obvious to me this morning. The voices in my head know the long wait for my first Bruce Springsteen show [...]
