In Europe, definitely.

In the US, not so much.

Reminder. New Springsteen song debuts tonight at halftime of the sunday night NFL game.

Well from what you could actually hear in between grunting football highlights sounded pretty good. Can't wait to hear the whole studio version. Or better yet. A live one.

Springsteen said, "Towards the end of recording Magic, excited by the return to pop production sounds, I continued writing. When my friend producer Brendan O'Brien heard the new songs, he said, 'Let's keep going.' Over the course of the next year, that's just what we did, recording with the E Street Band during the breaks on last year's tour. I hope Working on a Dream has caught the energy of the band fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever done. All the songs were written quickly, we usually used one of our first few takes, and we all had a blast making this one from beginning to end."

Working on a Dream is Bruce Springsteen's twenty-fourth album and was recorded and mixed at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, GA with additional recording in New York City, Los Angeles, and New Jersey

What's up with the Beatles and Stones covers?

Odd, isnt it?

As someone on Backstreets pointed out, there's a Lennon song called "Surprise Surprise" and a Harrison song called "Life Itself" - and of course the Beatles' song "Tomorrow never Knows".

Then again, of course the Stones covered a song called "Surprise Surprise" and Mick has a solo song called "Lucky Day", which is close enough.

Stones version of 'Surprise, Surprise' is J/R.

In case some of you might not know this, the "Jersey Devil" is a very old tale that dates back to the first settlers in New Jersey, in Leeds Point, a town in the Pinelands. The story is 600+ years old. An old woman gave birth to her 13th child, who was a severely deformed creature with wings instead of arms and a pointy head and feet like hooves. The old women kept this child locked up in the basement. One stormy night, the child escaped and was never seen by the family again. It became known as The Jersey Devil, the creature haunted New Jersey and the surrounding areas and had been seen by over 2,000 witnesses over this period. It has terrorized towns and caused factories and schools to close down.  In the 1800's many sheep, chickens, dogs, cats, ducks and geese were killed by a creature with piercing screams and strange tracks. In 1850's-1890's, the Jersey Devil was seen and numerous times and reportedly carried off anything that moved, and most of the locals would not venture out after dark. The devil was last sighted at the turn of the century. It probably died by then but people still know about it and talk about it here in New Jersey. I think it started out as a true story, but it's turned into folklore over the years and now it's regarded as myth and legend.

I know about this because Leeds Point isn't far from where I live!
The truth is stranger than fiction!
 

Today marks the sad anniversary of Danny Federici's last full show with the ESB.

RIP Phantom.
