Bruce Springsteen's new album "Magic" is out on October 8th. Hard to believe The Boss is 58! A.O. Scott has a great write-up in the New York Times. I love one of the opening paragraphs:
The feeling, no less potent for being self-induced, had been with me all morning. Bright and early, me and my girl — my wife of nearly two decades, that is — had let the screen door slam, dropped off the kids at school and set out on the open road, blowing through the E-ZPass lanes on the Garden State Parkway in our Volvo station wagon. We had an advance copy of Mr. Springsteen’s new album, “Magic,” in the CD slot, and most of his back catalog in reserve on the iPod. And now we were driving down Kingsley, figuring we’d get a latte. One more chance to make it real. Tramps like us, baby!
I had a terrible time with his Devils and Dust "Dual Disc" - what a joke. Hopefully Sony will smarten up and just have a plain old CD out on Monday.
Bruce is once again the king - not that he ever left. His "Magic" CD brings back memories from Greetings from Asbury Park" to "Born to Run." Can't wait till September 18th - I'll be at Madison Square Garden hearing the E-Street Band live again.
