The Music Thread

Bruce Springsteen turns 75 years old on Monday, Sept. 23rd . . . Happy Birthday to The Boss.
I was one of his early fans long before his awesome album Born to Run was released. I saw him in concert in December 1975 at Georgetown University's McDonough Arena . .
The Wild, the Innocent & the E street shuffle was a massive favorite of mine.

Happy birthday Mr. Springsteen . . !

Neat seeing David Olney mentioned here. I got to know him a little in the 1990s and after. He was a friend of my music journalist pal, the late Peter Cooper. Peter and I used to live together in Spartanburg, before he moved to Nashville as a writer, and David stayed with us once. Really cool guy.

On Friday, I went up to Asheville and saw the Dbs. So great. I don't go all the way back to the 80s with them, though I think a much hipper friend tried in those years to introduce me to their music. It kind of clicked for me much later. In any case, they put on a really excellent show.
 
I thought this was a great 1990's college radio song:


As I was searching for it on Spotify, I ran across this. It is awesome both lyrically and musically:
