“You are a very boring person going to all of these concerts so many times on your own.” I was on a high after my third night of watching Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band play in Cape Town, South Africa, to be greeted with this statement by my taxi driver. I’ve been called…

Ten years ago I became a little bit obsessed, as I have a tendency to do, with the saying Carpe Diem. I heard it somewhere, I think from some hippie traveller with dread locks and patchwork trousers, and my friend and I latched onto it, hollering it at every opportunity presented to us. “Another cup…

Not long ago I asked Bruce Springsteen fans on my Burgers and Bruce Facebook and Twitter to tell me their favourite little known or rarely played Springsteen songs, and the version they love the most too. I helped the Springsteen fan over at Mr Hyde put together a little list, but you sent me so…

75 burgers. 8 Bruce Springsteen concerts. 6 flights. 15 trains. 4 car journeys. 8 queues. 100s Bruce Buds. 4 Grey Hairs. 2 inches. 1 dress size. 54 blog posts. 1 important burger chat. That’s the edited version for those tight on time. Have I really eaten that many burgers? I won’t talk about them all,…

It may sound like a question better suited to one of Hollywood’s glamorous A-listers as opposed to being the first thing I’m tempted to ask an emerging rock talent.

And I’m also not talking about the first time you ride a bike, get drunk, smoke a cigarette or see Bruce Springsteen either… 2012. Springsteen announces concert dates in New York, a city filled with so many food options my…

When non Springsteen fans hear how many shows I’ve seen on the Wrecking Ball tour they say I’m crazy. I’ll admit I’ve had my moments, but is it that much of a shocker? Is my behaviour really that irrational? I don’t think so. In the grand scheme of things, I’m pretty restrained. I meet people…

Bruce Springsteen has a way of convincing me that I am a brilliant singer. If you ever see a girl walking down the street in London, headphones in hollering ‘THIS TRAIN” that’ll be me listening to Land Of Hope And Dreams. I’m not embarrassed at all, but for some reason my friends and family are. Apparently it’s…

Ever tried to have a conversation with someone when they are wearing a mask? I don’t mean a fancy dress mask, Halloween mask, cat and whiskers, or a masquerade ball mask. I mean a full on, industrial metal welder’s mask. It’s harder than you may think. That’s why, a few Sundays ago I found myself…
