11 comes close to pissing upon my candle and fucking with my Chi. I don’t know what is getting to me more: his frustration with these Springsteen set lists or the fact I kind of agree with him.

I had such different ideas when this day started, iPod-wise. I didn’t plan to queue up the Sprinsgteen this morning, but was there really any doubt? I’ve queued up Live at NYC and I’ve been trying to do some work here at the office while pumping my fist to the sky and [...]

My stomach is finally beginning to settle after the wildest 5 minutes I can remember in the last… 5 minutes. I almost forgot what this is like. I can’t believe it. I have to calm down. I must breathe. The trick is to keep breathing.
I wasn’t responsible for ticket procurement [...]

Hell the fuck yes! “Adam Raised A Cain” is how you open a show. Follow that with “Radio Nowhere,” “No Surrender,” and “The Promised Land” and it’s almost inconceivable that you can screw this set up. “Rendezvous” and “Atlantic City” make the list as does “Janey Don’t You Lose Heart.” Hell, [...]

I don’t understand why he’s doing so many covers through Europe, but the set lists are getting longer because of them and the set lists seem to be improving. Europe started with a thud but getting songs like “Spirit in the Night,” “Candy’s Room,” and “Racing In The Street” back in the rotation is [...]

All right, so we’re seeing signs of life. “Spirit in the Night” gets played again and “Thundercrack” comes back after an unacceptably long absense. That’s fantastic. 11 will approve of the ambient stretch of “Fire” through “The Rising.” Well, I’m betting it was at least a little ambient through “Point Blank.” [...]

I’m not very bright.
How is it I didn’t hear Hurricane Katrina in the lyrics of “Orphan of The Storm?” Tom Petty isn’t even being all that clever or clandestine? It’s fuckin’ obvious but it didn’t hit me until this morning when I woke up with that song in my head. I’m a [...]

Okay, so now I’m impossibly behind. I’m going to have to move and move quickly on this one so I can catch up with the rest of the shows that are passing me by.
DC has, what I believe, is the longest show of the tour thus far at 31 songs. I haven’t [...]

I’m going to get incredibly lazy here, people, and I’m going to ask you to cut me some slack. I happened to read Billboard’s review of the highlights of Pearl Jam’s 2-night stand in MSG and by virtue of having some resources to cover it, I’m going to refer you on to them if [...]

The business world tells us the customer is always right. I guess this is one of those instances where it’s good I’ve not made a fuckin’ dime on this site because it frees me to ignore the counsel of a would-be customer. My brother told me the other night there’s been too [...]
