Springsteen. Giants Stadium. Full Albums Played. Discuss. Edited
Sep 26, 2009 at 9:41am
[Edited again to add] This thread was formerly known as "Springsteen Tickets Available, Saturday 10/3", but without any prompting on my part it seems to have turned into a discussion of the upcoming shows with full performances of "classic" albums. Hence, the title change. [Edited to add] They've gone to a good home. Thanks. Available for face value (we'll "eat" the TicketBastard charges), in two locations, Two tickets in Section 219, $101 each Two tickets in Section 320, $68.00 each (yes, way out there, but still in the building :wink:) Long story short: Had purchased these four for 10/3, to go to the show with relatives, even though we'd be sitting apart. Through the kindness of a fellow MOLer four seats together became available to us. So, these are our extras, which I'd rather see go to a deserving reader here than out through a ticket reseller. Free local delivery. :bigsmile: If interested, whisper with contact information or email me at nohero.mol[at]gmail.com (replace the "[at]" with an "@" when typing the address).

Should Bruce Play for Chris Christie? Discuss ... Edited
Nov 7, 2009 at 12:26pm
From today's Star-Ledger - It took only two days for Gov.-elect Chris Christie to sell out. In an interview with The Star-Ledger that appeared in Friday?s editions, Christie put out a plea for Bruce Springsteen to play at the inauguration. He sounded like Marcia Brady pleading with Davy Jones to play at her school dance. "I?m not beneath begging," Christie said. That?s good, because until we get a weather report that says, "Ice storm hits hell," politics says it probably isn?t going to happen. Springsteen, the homegrown, raspy-voiced poet of the working class, spent a lot of time and money campaigning to send George W. Bush home to Texas. That would be the same President Bush who gave Christie his job as U.S. attorney, which set him on his way to being elected governor. Still, we?d like to see Springsteen put politics aside and do it for New Jersey. The way things are going in the state these days, we all need a Kumbaya moment ? Republicans, Democrats and independents ? just with a better song.I would say - what the heck, why not? Although, this could be a classic case of "Be careful what you wish for". Not that Mr. Christie doesn't have people that he admires giving him grief. There was a guest column in the New York Times the other day by the author Harlan Coben, who grew up with Mr. Christie in Livingston, NJ, and has stayed friends with him. A portion - Chris and I are in our junior year. We?re on a special committee to help select the new principal, interviewing the candidates and bored to tears, until one tells us he used to be vice principal of Freehold High, Bruce Springsteen?s alma mater. ?Did you know Bruce?? we ask. He says yes and we practically fall off our chairs. After firing a bunch of ?Was Bruce the coolest thing ever?? questions at the man, we?re satisfied. We vote for him and he gets the job. Springsteen is one issue Chris and I agree on. A few weeks ago, during a Springsteen show at Giants Stadium, we texted back and forth about the pure joy of hearing the Boss play the ?Born to Run? album in sequence. He argues that ?Thunder Road? is the best song, but I side with ?Jungleland.? The texts about the concert continue the next morning before I shift gears and tell him that I abhor his stand against gay marriage. I call him out on this issue, even saying that ?it?s not you.? He does not get defensive. We agree to discuss this when there is more time. And we will. He will remain calm. I will probably be the one who gets heated. He?s used to this. As an aside, I can agree with Mr. Christie about "Thunder Road". But anyway, something about Mr. Springsteen and a room full of Republicans seems like an interesting scenario to contemplate. So, I vote yes! Thoughts?

"Meet Me In A Land Of Hope And Dreams" Edited
Nov 5, 2012 at 10:39am
President Obama wisely turns to Mr. Springsteen, to help make the "closing argument". From earlier today in Madison, Wisconsin, one of the places these two are barnstorming today. http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2012/bruces-speech-from-madison-wi --------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me begin with a shout out to all of our neighbors in the Northeast who are reeling from Hurricane Sandy and its immense impact. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So, it’s good to be here with you today–and it will be great to feel the power of your votes and voices tomorrow. I’m here today for Wisconsin, America, and for President Obama. For the last 30 years I’ve been writing in my music about the distance between the American dream and American reality. I’ve seen it from inside and outside: as a blue collar kid from a working class home in New Jersey–where my parents struggled, often unsuccessfully–to make ends meet–to my adult life, visiting the 9th Ward in New Orleans after Katrina, or meeting folks from food pantries from all around the United States, who work daily to help our struggling citizens through the hard times we’ve been suffering The American Dream and an American Reality: Our vote tomorrow is the one undeniable way we get to determine the distance in that equation. Tomorrow, we get a personal hand in shaping the kind of America we want our kids to grow up in. I’m a husband and a dad, my lovely wife Patti is here with me. We’ve got three kids growing up and on their way out into the world, I’m 63 (Patti is much younger)… but we have both lived through some galvanizing moments in American history: the Civil Rights struggle, the Peace Movement, the Woman’s Movement, we played in East Berlin one year before the Fall of the Berlin Wall, and we were with Amnesty International a year before the release of Nelson Mandela and the end of apartheid. These were days when you could feel the winds of change moving and the world shifting beneath your feet. And… we both remember another galvanizing moment, the night that President Obama was elected. It was an unbelievable evening, when the hope of your heart felt fulfilled, when you could feel the locked doors of the past being blown open to new and previously unimaginable possibilities– to fresh Hope and Change. Today we have another battle. Now we are charged with the hard daily struggle to make those possibilities, those changes real and enduring in a world that challenges your hopefulness, a world that is often brutally resistant to change. We’ve lived through that struggle over these past four years when the forces of opposition have been tireless. I stood with President Obama four years ago and I’m proud to be standing with him today. Because… I’m thankful for the historic advances in healthcare. I’m thankful for a more regulated Wall Street that will begin to protect our citizens from the blind greed of those who over reach. My father worked on a Ford assembly line when I was a child and I’m thankful that we have a President that had faith in the American automobile industry and that General Motors is today making cars. What else would I write about. I’m thankful that we have a decisive President working hard to keep America safe… and I’m appreciative of the fact that, as promised, he has ended the war in Iraq and is bringing the war in Afghanistan to a close. I’m here today because I’m concerned about Women’s Rights and health issues both at home and around the World. I don’t have to tell you about the dangers to Roe versus Wade under our opponents policies. I’m also troubled by thirty years of an increasing disparity in wealth between our best off citizens and everyday Americans. That is a disparity that threatens to divide us into two distinct and separate nations. We have to be better than that. Finally I’m here today because I’ve lived long enough to know that the future is rarely a tide rushing in. Its often a slow march, inch by inch, day after long day. We are in the midst of one of those long days right now. I believe that President Obama feels those long days in his bones for all 100 per cent of us. He will live those days with us. President Obama ran last time as a man of hope and change. You hear a lot of talk about how things are different now. Things aren’t any different–they’re just realer. Its crunch time. The President’s job, our job–yours and mine– whether your Republican, Democrat, Independent, rich, poor, black, brown, white, gay, straight, soldier, civilian–is to keep that hope alive, to combat cynicism and apathy, and to believe in our power, to change our lives and the world we live in. So, lets go to work tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.. Lets re-elect President Barack Obama to carry our standard forward towards the America that awaits us. This song is called “The Land of Hope and Dreams.”

Since MOL has an Australian contingent, I just wanted to tell you that I'm jealous. You're getting great, once in a lifetime concerts. ************************** Tom Morello to join Wrecking Ball Tour in Australia Since Stevie Van Zandt’s filming commitments to his highly successful television show Lilyhammer will keep him off stage for the upcoming Australian tour dates, Bruce Springsteen has invited Tom Morello to sit in temporarily on guitar. Following the Australian dates, Van Zandt will return to the tour in Oslo, Norway on April 29, 2013. Tom Morello performed on multiple recordings from ‘Wrecking Ball’ (Jack of All Trades, This Depression), and recently joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band onstage for performances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, at SXSW and for the legendary 25th Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert.

Found the annoying message from Joe Piscopo on our answering machine when we got home last night. Nice to hear that he's continuing to encourage the "I'm from Joisey/Oh yeah, what exit?" image of our state. You can "talk back", sort of, if you visit his website (http://www.joepiscopo.com/contact.html). Sure, it's a useless and unproductive waste of time, but then again, so are the phone calls.

Wow. Congratulations. And may I say, that is a big kid. :thumbup: You have so much fun ahead of you. But be careful, because it goes by so fast. On the plus side, they turn into really interesting people. Since songs are being contributed - Well now on a summer night in a dusky room Come a little piece of the Lord’s undying light Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon In his mother’s arms it was all the beauty I could take Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused Searching for a little bit of God’s mercy I found living proof - B. Springsteen, Living Proof.

The Backstreets site has been tracking ticket announcements that have briefly popped up on Ticket master and other sites, and then disappeared. Tickets could go on sale as early as this weekend, perhaps. The new album with the E Street Band comes out on October 2.

More rumors. From Rolling Stone - Details Leak of Fall Bruce Springsteen Tour Bruce Springsteen?s manager Jon Landau told Rolling Stone last week that the tour for Springsteen?s upcoming album Magic ?hasn?t been fully decided,? but according to one haphazard Ticketmaster page that went up this weekend, it?s been decided that he?s playing the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota with the E Street Band on November 2nd. The page appeared this weekend and has been since taken down, but we?ve saved the details for posterity: The floor appears to be general admission, just like the Rising tour of 2002 and ?03. Tickets go on sale next Saturday at 10:00 AM, so expect an announcement of the whole tour sometime next week. He?s keeping the prices relatively low, just $55 to $85. Word is the tour begins in early October, soon after Magic is released. Possible dates, from a Variety website - 10/2, 10/3 Hartford 10/5, 10/6 Philly 10/9, 10/10 E. Rutherford, N.J. 10/14, 10/15 NYC 10/21 Chicago 10/22 St. Paul, Minn. 10/26 Oakland 10/28, 10/29 LA (Forum) 11/4 Cleveland 11/5 Detroit 11/11, 11/12 Washington 11/18, 11/19 Boston And, below, a seating chart that appeared, and then was pulled, from a Ticketmaster page. Now, everyone just calm down, and get back to work. :wink:

Oldstone - The new song actually reminds me of songs written for the Asbury Jukes by Springsteen or Steve Van Zandt. A horn track would fit just perfectly into it.

The "official" word from Springsteen's publicist, Shore Fire Media, is that tickets for the Meadowlands and the Garden go on sale September 10. http://www.shorefire.com/index.php?a=pressrelease&o=1279 That seems odd to me. Usually, I think they go on sale on a weekend. In any event, it will be interesting if anyone thinks they'll be able to do any business in NJ on Monday morning, September 10.

President Carter Slams Bush, Cheney Edited

Posted By: lewisinsovThe point that I previously made was that a "living Constitution" may need to be reinterpreted to deal with the new post-9/11 paradigms. What was interesting were the responses that suggested that the Constitution was being trampled on and that some things cannot be changed. Either you accept that it is organic or not. You can't have it both ways. Well, if that's your point, it's a simplistic view of the debate. The "living constitution" doesn't mean that anything goes. It's a misapplication of the argument to say that a theory that pushes the envelope on what is a constitutional "right", can be used to backtrack and take the U.S. back to a pre-constitutional mindset about torture. The Bush side doesn't think that it's reinterpreting the Constitution. At least, they don't feel comfortable making that argument. That's why they are trying to hide what they are doing. "Post 9/11" is an argument used in an attempt to justify many sins. The challenge for Americans is to remember (as ML1 pointed out via Mr. Springsteen's lyric) - "You know that flag flying over the courthouse Means certain things are set in stone Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."
Posted By: lewisinsovThe point that I previously made was that a "living Constitution" may need to be reinterpreted to deal with the new post-9/11 paradigms. What was interesting were the responses that suggested that the Constitution was being trampled on and that some things cannot be changed. Either you accept that it is organic or not. You can't have it both ways. Well, if that's your point, it's a simplistic view of the debate. The "living constitution" doesn't mean that anything goes. It's a misapplication of the argument to say that a theory that pushes the envelope on what is a constitutional "right", can be used to backtrack and take the U.S. back to a pre-constitutional mindset about torture. The Bush side doesn't think that it's reinterpreting the Constitution. At least, they don't feel comfortable making that argument. That's why they are trying to hide what they are doing.

You're misreading (as usual, apparently) decisions and writings that are not as simplistic as you assert. As for Mr. Springsteen - "the poets down here don't write nothing at all, they just stand back and let it all be". Something can be true, even if you hear it in a song lyric.

The host of the Late Late Show on CBS, Craig Ferguson, is trying to become a ?citizen? of as many states and municipalities as he can. As it states on the website for his project: ?Fueled by his longing to become a United States citizen, Craig Ferguson has launched a campaign to become an honorary citizen of towns and cities across America. Now you can follow the host of ?The Late Late Show? as he receives honorary citizenship documents from governors and mayors across the country.? Apparently, Governor Corzine has ?granted? him an honorary citizenship of New Jersey, but with some conditions ? Dear Craig - I understand you are seeking to become an honorary citizen of the state of New Jersey. Before we bestow this great honor upon you, however, I feel the need to explain to you the burdens and responsibilities of being a citizen of the great Garden State. First, anytime anyone refers to the New York Giants, New York Jets or New York Red Bulls, you have to sigh, roll your eyes and remind that person that all of those teams actually play in New Jersey. Same goes for the Statue of Liberty. Second, anytime someone only knows New Jersey because "Tony Soprano is from there," you are required to mention that there is an endless list of notable and accomplished individuals who lived in or are from New Jersey, including two current Supreme Court Justices, Albert Einstein, and Joe Piscopo. Third, and perhaps most importantly, you must immediately adjust your musical tastes so that Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Queen Latifah are the only artists on your iPod. This is non-negotiable. Finally, enclosed with this letter, please find a chip that is to be placed directly on your shoulder (left or right). This chip must be clearly visible to anyone who suggests that New Jersey is simply "the state between New York City and Philadelphia." If you are prepared to take all of those steps, I am thrilled to grant you honorary status as a citizen of New Jersey. Governor Jon S. Corzine The rest of you, please note and act accordingly. :thumbup:
