It's only 73 days before Inauguration Day 2009. Planning has been going on for a
while. Beyonce wants to perform and the
Boss plans to release an album on the day. Be sure to call your Congressperson to get your
tickets. Make your
plans right away, everybody wants to go.
If you go, don't forget to say a rousing good-bye to
you know who.

Among Springsteen fans, the song
"Meeting Across The River," has become something of a point of contention and parlor game in terms of what happens to the protagonists afterwards. Many speculated that
"Jungleland," was a continuation of the story. Several authors have taken the enterprise a step further
in a new anthology.

The songs of the Pete Seeger Sessions presents an ultra-detailed listing of prior recordings of the songs included in Bruce Springsteen's excellent "We shall overcome" album, a majestic tribute to the American musical tradition, with some songs written over two centuries ago. The site lists more than 1,560 eariler recordings, by nearly as many artists, with some full-length audio clips included.

E Street Band guitarist and erstwhile
Sopranos star
Little Steven is launching a syndicated
radio show to be centered around garage rock of the '60's plus latter day punk as well according to this
story. Steve's own site includes some great
live reviews and excellent garage rock
links . I, for one, am really looking forward to hearing this show. Good luck, Steve.

What?! It's great how BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN is more important to protest than trigger-happiness. I know this issue has already been talked into the ground, but just check the F.O.P. president's quotes. Come ON, guy. Didn't you see the sign above the door that said "Please remove head from rump?"
