Guest blogging for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
As an upshot of my first visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last weekend, I was invited to submit a guest blog for the RRHOF’s website.
There’s also a news story from me on Backstreets.com, but you’ll have to scroll down to the news from 1/26.
Full posts on the Springsteen exhibit and the rest of the hall in general will be up on the weekend.
holiday hurrah
I’ll be featured on the New Year’s Day episode. Considering that Dave and I argued so much he needed to edit afterwards, it should be a good one.

My writeup of The River from Sunday night is now up at brucespringsteen.net.
10/29 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
My review (which was briefly published here because I thought they weren’t going to use it) of the 10/29 E Street Band appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary shows is online now at brucespringsteen.net (under the DC review).
I long for the day they get a website with actual pages.
10/14: In The Darkness, I Hear Somebody Call My Name
Philly night 2 (a show I had NO plans to be at until 11:30pm the night before) was also Darkness and you can read my thoughts about my favorite album in the list over on brucespringsteen.net.
When I am writing these things in the car on the way home or at 2am on a work night it doesn’t seem like such a good idea, but I am very grateful I have the opportunity to cover these shows on this tour.
10/9 : The Call of the Wreckin’ Ball
My report from the last night of the Giants Stadium run is now up on brucespringsteen.net. The photo is (as of this writing) still from 10/8 so it might look like they haven’t updated, but they have.
Will archive it here when it disappears off the page.
10/8: Born to Run Live and In Person
You can find my writeup of Thursday night’s Born To Run show over at brucespringsteen.net, the only site left in the world where everything is on one big page and you can’t link to individual posts. I’ll put it up here when it disappears there.
live! tonight! in person!
Sometimes I suck at self-promotion. I will be reading here tonight:
Your friends from Faith and Fear are co-hosting AMAZIN’ TUESDAY tonight at 7:00 at Two Boots Tavern on the Lower East Side, 384 Grand St., between Norfolk and Suffolk, accessible via the F to Delancey and other popular subway lines. If you haven’t been to one of our nights of reading, rooting and Randy Milligan, an impartial observer filed reviews from Metstock in June and the first AMAZIN’ TUESDAY in July. When you see what you missed, surely you’ll want a piece of the action this time around.
Our guests are two of the most insightful observers of the Metsopotamian condition we know. Dana Brand, author of 2007′s wonderful Mets Fan [Ed. note: a book in which my blog is mentioned!], will be sharing with us The Last Days of Shea, so brand spanking new the ink is still wet. Dana also blogs regularly, thoughtfully and passionately here, and you are urged to read him regularly. Caryn Rose, known in these parts as Metsgrrl, is one of the go-to sources for life at Citi Field and its psychic environs. We’re so happy to have them both.
Phil Hartman, the most Met-minded restaurateur New York has seen since Rusty Staub called it a day, will be serving up The Stork, a pizza made with Creole chicken, wild mushrooms, cheddar and mozzarella in honor of George Theodore and the (Tim) Teufel Shuffle martini, which, naturally, is shuffled not stirred. Phil’s AMAZIN’ TUESDAY offer of a free beer in exchange for a Met baseball card still stands. It’s a great way to rid your collection of those unwanted Ollie Perezes.
