I'm on a Bruce Springsteen kick right now, I used to be a huge fan of his then I kind of drifted away. But I downloaded the Live Sessions that he produced years ago. I still love the music that Springsteen does. But I had forgotten what a great story teller the guy is live.
When you listen to him talking in Growing up, and the River, you realize how cool he really is and how talented he is, and how interesting he is.
Starts at 2:40.
The River with his Vietnam war story and his dad.

Hiya doin’ out there tonight? That’s good, that’s good.
This is ah… When I was growing up, me and my dad used to go at it all the time over almost anything. But, ah, I used to have really long hair, way down past my shoulders. I was 17 or 18, oh man, he used to hate it. And we got to where we’d fight so much that I’d, that I’d spent a lot of time out of the house; and in the summertime it wasn’t so bad, ‘cause it was warm, and my friends were out, but in the winter, I remember standing downtown where it’d get so cold and, when the wind would blow, I had this phone booth I used to stand in. And I used to call my girl, like, for hours at a time, just talking to her all night long. And finally I’d get my nerve up to go home. I’d stand there in the driveway and he’d be waiting for me in the kitchen and I’d tuck my hair down on my collar and I’d walk in and he’d call me back to sit down with him. And the first thing he’d always ask me was what did I think I was doing with myself. And the worst part of it was that I could never explain to him.
I remember I got in a motorcycle accident once and I was laid up in bed and he had a barber come in and cut my hair and, man, I can remember telling him that I hated him and that I would never ever forget it. And he used to tell me: “Man, I can’t wait till the army gets you. When the army gets you they’re gonna make a man out of you. They’re gonna cut all that hair off and they’ll make a man out of you.”
And this was, I guess, ’68 when there was a lot of guys from the neighbourhood going to Vietnam. I remember the drummer in my first band coming over to my house with his marine uniform on, saying that he was going and that he didn’t know where it was. And a lot of guys went, and a lot of guys didn’t come back. And the lot that came back weren’t the same anymore. I remember the day I got my draft notice. I hid it from my folks and three days before my physical me and my friends went out and we stayed up all night and we got on the bus to go that morning and man we were all so scared… And I went, and I failed. I came home [audience cheers], it’s nothing to applaud about… I remember coming home after I’d been gone for three days and walking in the kitchen and my mother and father were sitting there and my dad said: “Where you been?” and I said, uh, “I went to take my physical.” He said “What happened?” I said “They didn’t take me.” And he said: “That’s good.”

I just learned that Richard Swift died today. He worked with so many great bands (The Shins, Black Keys, Tennis, Guster, Foxygen, The Mynabirds, etc.) but he also had a pretty good solo career. His album The Atlantic Ocean is a wonderful record.

Jon Wurster posted on Instagram about playing drums on Jay Farrar's Sebastopol record. I loved that record, even if it doesn't get the respect that his work with Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt does.

I've always loved this album. I saw my CDs and decided to go through them all, and I've been listening to this one in my car for the past couple of days.

^ Huh, I didn't figure that Collective Soul's music would hold up so well over time, but it does. Some familiar trappings of the 90s, but still solid music. You can't say the same of many other artists in that period.

I used to take a lot of crap from my friends for being a big George Michael fan back in the day, probably because he was a gay artist and my friends back then weren't the most enlightened.
But how could anyone listen to this song and not feel something special?
Anyway, that's what I'm listening to right now, with a scotch in hand.

Going to see Chixdiggit with Teenage Bottlerocket next week, so I pulled out all my old Chixdiggit albums I haven't listened to in 10 years.

Rob Crow is putting out a collection of new songs from his numerous bands. I don't think his first band, Heavy Vegetable, is one of them which sucks because they were great.
Optiganally Yours will be on the comp, and there will be a full length too.
