Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at San Siro, Milan, Italy – 3 July 2016
Friday
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played at Milan’s San Siro Stadium on 3 July 2016. For the last few weeks… months… oh shiiiiit it’s been months, I’ve tried to find a way to explain what went down that night. I’ve tried every day, and honestly, I’m no closer to telling you what happened. All I…

A weekend with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, Sweden – June 2016
Sunday
I’d been told great things about Swedish Springsteen fans, but here’s the prob: apart from two or three friends I’ve made along the way (hello Magnus, hello Anna), I’d never actually met any. I’d heard the stories though – breaking the Ullevi stadium in 1985; bars spinning the tunes on loop in the run up…

Bumping into Nils Lofgren and eating the burger at The Barn, Gothenburg, Sweden
Tuesday
I ate four burgers on my Bruce Springsteen weekend in Gothenburg, Sweden. Oops. But I’m just going to tell you about one of them – partly because it was the best, and also because Nils Lofgren was there having a burger too! (More on that in a sec.) With Steve (@GreasyLake on Twitter) and Nils Anyway,…

James McAvoy, burgers and Bruce Springsteen
Tuesday
Why read my words about burgers when you can read James McAvoy’s words about burgers? I interviewed McAvoy about his role as Professor X in the latest X-Men film (link to the feature below). After some obligatory film chat I asked him about his favourite burger in London, natch. His response was… colourful: “I love…

The River Tour – Bruce Springsteen in Albany, NY – 10 February 2016
Sunday
I wrote the majority of this blog post on the Amtrak train from Albany back to New York. There are better places to write about Bruce Springsteen, but then there’s no easy place. You see the problem with Bruce is that he’s impossibly hard work. High maintenance. Yep, I love him – his music, his…

Greetings from Asbury Park: A Bruce Springsteen fan’s Rock & Roll Tour of the Jersey Shore
Monday
As far as boardwalks go, this is a pretty good one. In fact, in my experience of boardwalks, I’d say it’s the best. This is the boardwalk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen describes it as his “adopted hometown”, the town that has inspired lyric after lyric – songs laced with stories of the…
