Hook Springsteen up with Bob Dylan and Charlie Watts..
Now thats entertainment!
I listened to Darkness of the edge of of town this week. Lots of heart. Reminded me of standing on the curb with just a pair of shorts and tennis shoes on and drinking beer with friends.
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
Not a great fit at the polo fields, but he's an absolutely amazing performer. Should he ever get booked, I'd be thrilled to see him again.
Anything is possible...
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN DJ SET W/ SPECIAL GUESTS BONO AND BOB SEGER
I actually think "No Cars Go" is the most Born to Run-like song in existence. It's got the wall of sound driven by a thudding baseline. It's got horns and shit. it's got the dramatic tension and emotional buildup and release and catharsis. It's even got an ending that goes oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
oh, and it has the word "car" in its title. Do you know how many Springsteen songs are about cars, or highways, or driving cars on highways, usually in a remote stretch of godforesaken shit highway either in the middle of the desert, or in the middle of snow-frosted cornstubble black-and-white fields, or running next to the dull green glow of a stinky oil refinery at 1 am. A lot of them are. that's how many
edit. oddly enough Born to Run makes an allusion to riding a motorcycle, rather than driving a car. weird.

10- all the other ones
Tunnel of Love is some five-star stuff. The "adult" songwriting record, and his last total masterpiece. I would say it is held back by the dated production, but then that new War on Drugs album came along . . .
Here are my rankings.
fwiw i excluded both Tracks and The Promise from my rankings because I don't consider them 'real' albums.
Tracks is superb though. I still haven't heard The Promise.
oh and apparently there's more in the vaults.

Just about every genre of music has been performed at Coachella, so Bruce technically would fit in but I wouldn't go see him. I've seen him so many times on TV and switch channels because I was bored, so I'd rather spend my time seeing an act I haven't seen before.
