We are still waiting Stevie!

Little Steven Van Zandt coming in at #12. Way to go Stevie!

Stevie Van Zandt campaigned for this for decades.

Bruce always says that his audience was almost all male before 1980s Hungry Heart. But this video from 1978 seems to prove otherwise. 😂 youtu.be/jlsBJxH1CWg?...

I probably have unrealistically high expectations for this!

Picture of the Day Bruce Springsteen 1973 Rock The World Bruce #BruceSpringsteen

Going light on politics till after the holidays. So today it's #Springsteen lyrics. Here's my favorite: "Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost For wanting things that can only be found In the darkness on the edge of town" What's yours?

Every Springsteen love song can be read as the deeply personal story of one relationship … or as commentary on America. 🎶”We've given each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learnin' We're the same sad story that's a fact One step up and two steps back.”🎶

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

And he appeared on The Howard Stern Show with The E Street Band in October — where they gave a wide-ranging interview alongside an unprecedented stripped-down, full-band performance.

While in Europe, he became the first non-British songwriter welcomed as a Fellow of the Ivors Academy — an honor presented to him by Sir Paul McCartney — before two performances at Wembley Stadium in front of over 150,000 fans, with his U.K. shows “reminding us … no one does it better” (The Times).

I wish I’d been there!

It’s true, but the band gets some of the credit!

As we march to an uncertain 2025 Things I am always grateful for: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band still making glorious rock & roll after 50 yrs From 2002 🎶Kitty’s Back 🎶 www.instagram.com/reel/DDcGDUh... *Clarence “Big Man” Clemmons always in our hearts www.instagram.com/reel/DDcGDUh...

Every Springsteen lyric can be read as the deeply personal story of one human… or as commentary on America. 🎶”On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word fear And in which hand he held his fate was never clear.”🎶

Springsteen is a great song writer and a good performer but some folks don't understand how amazing the E. Street Band is until they are seen live. It's not just a concert, it's an experience.

Little Steven also weighing in on the holiday! ❤️

And another!

Let’s get this party started!

Southside Johnny is retiring from touring. This is a sad reminder that the eventually time comes for us all. The Jukes, especially all those Steve Van Zandt produced albums, were always a delight. 💔

Nobody produces a bigger show than Steve Van Zandt 🎄

It's rare to watch Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, but here's Darlene Love, Paul Shaffer, and Little Steven Van Zandt with "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." Darlene is 83 YEARS OLD. She remains the most important brick in Phil Spector's Christmas Wall of Sound album. youtu.be/QFa5Mn4wh_0?...

Why yes I do have a Democrat Donkey and @realspringsteen.bsky.social ornaments on my tree! @democrats.org

I've been a rock roller all my life. I knew who Stevie Van Zandt was, but until I watched this doc, I realize I didn't know who Little Steven really is. What an amazing man.

#Springsteen Tidbits That rumble of thunder you hear at the beginning of Lost in the Flood was a “cheap effect” created in the studio by Steve Van Zandt, who literally punched the amplifier. It was Steve’s only contribution to the Greetings from Asbury Park album.

In the new Caropop, @steveconte.bsky.social tells of backing Chuck Berry, joining the New York Dolls, co-writing half of his latest album with XTC's Andy Partridge, getting feedback from label owner Stevie Van Zandt and being a working musician. www.caropop.com/caropopcast/...

Springsteen is here!

This is a welcome development!

Shout out to the English language for permitting Bruce Springsteen to rhyme "car" with "reservoir."

I know he is busy being a pundit on MSNBC and such, but we could use him here!

When it comes to #Springsteen Christmas songs, most people like Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Merry Christmas Baby. But for my money, the best Bruce holiday song is this version of Blue Christmas, performed live at the old Carousel building in Asbury Park. This song needs more love. 🎸🎷🎄

My younger kid is on the other side of the world & texted this week to tell me they’d heard the Springsteen version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” in a cafe. They said “I seemed to be the only one who knew even the spoken intro.” It felt good that they had that touch of home while far away.

Interesting essay.

Fact. Dunning-Kruger effect.

The path is made by walking, step by step.

🎶”The criminal clown has stolen the throne He steals what he can never own May the truth ring out from every small town bar We'll light up the house of a thousand guitars”🎶 -Springsteen

Brothers and sisters. This album is very good. I never knew. The pianos. I’ll just be staring into the bare treetops thinking about late career Bruce Springsteen.

With wishes of peace and joy this holiday season, hope listening to this 5 song EP from Amy and I will lift your spirits.

I’ll never forget this being a highlight of Christmas 2020, the loneliest holiday ever. The E Street Band showing up to play such an appropriate song, written and recorded before the pandemic, released just when we needed it.

(2/2) "Nobody dies in the underground garage, they live on forever in our hearts and memories!" -Little Steven Van Zandt John Lennon dies when we die. #JohnLennon

I somehow only just discovered this 1982 interview w/ Stevie Van Zandt, much of it while walking NYC streets in the wee hours of the morning. It’s delightful. The 25 cent peep show signs in the background & Steve apologizing for saying “Jesus!” are reminders of ways the world has changed. 😂

Thanks for this. I’ll never forget how voices fell silent when the (then-Dixie) Chicks spoke out against the Iraq War during the rah-rah leadup. They were blacklisted on radio across the country. No one stood up for them. Except, finally, Bruce Springsteen.

Ramrod purports to be about driving but is clearly about sex. Springsteen’s casual feminism works in multiple requests for consent: “say you will,” “give me the word.” Ahead of its time again. And the way the then-all-male band would sing it to each other was a triumph against homophobia to boot.)

After an emotionally draining last week of teaching, a lovely documentary about Bruce Springsteen’s recent tour is just the kind of cathartic viewing I need. 😭

This is interesting. A short amateur film based on Thunder Road #springsteen.

There's something about Republicans being absolutely unable to understand Springsteen, I mean we all remember how they thought Born in the USA was a totally fine song to use for a political campaign. #medialiteracy

This condo claims it was the place where Springsteen wrote “Greetings from Asbury Park.” Sort of fun to virtually look around.
