Bruce Springsteen announced today that he is releasing a new album on November 11th. Only the Strong Survive is unlike anything else he is done. That is because a record full of Soul, Gospel, and Motown covers.
“I wanted to make an album where I just sang. And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? I’ve taken my inspiration from Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, the Iceman Jerry Butler, Diana Ross, Dobie Gray, and Scott Walker, among many others,” The Boss said. “I’ve tried to do justice to them all—and to the fabulous writers of this glorious music. My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it.”

If someone told you that The Killers and Bruce Springsteen would release a single together, you probably would not have believed them. Well, they did and Dustland is out now.
I just want to know how this collaboration came about because they are such polar opposites. One is a band, and one is a solo artist (mostly). One is from New Jersey, and one is from Las Vegas. One is Classic Rock, and one is Modern Indie Rock. Other than both being men with defining voices, I don’t know what they have in common.
However, that could be why this song works so well. We need more opposites to attract like this in the music world.
Bruce Springsteen has been keeping a secret. Back on November 14, 2020, he was arrested on suspicion of DWI at Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, NJ. He was also cited for reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area.
The National Park Service told TMZ that he was cooperative throughout his arrest.
He is slated to have a court date on the matter in the next few weeks.
We are five days away from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ Inauguration celebration. So far, they have announced that Jon Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, Justin Timberlake, and Demi Lovato will play the nighttime festivities. Today, they added three more huge names to the party: Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, and John Legend.
Somewhere in the White House’s bunker, Donald Trump is crying because all he got was someone who won America’s Got Talent at his shindig.
If the Biden Inaugural team really wants to troll Trump and make him cry, they should get the Village People to play YMCA and Macho Man. The sad patraitor will be oddly dancing to their performances in Mar-a-Lago. So sad…not.
Back in the 20th Century, Frank Sinatra was New Jersey’s most famous boy. In this century, that title goes to three men. They are Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, and Jon Stewart. The two Jons and the Boss want you to wear a mask to slow the spread of COVID-19 in their state.
Do it, or you will give love a bad name. If you do, then we can get back to the glory days. You don’t want to be living on a prayer taking bad medicine so you are not sleeping on a bed of roses. I know it’s your life, but don’t you want to see your grandchildren born in the USA and born to run? You are wanted alive and not dead. Just do it because I’m on fire, and I won’t stop!
