Biggest Sell-Out EVERRRRRRRR

with one comment

meat loaf has to take it as it comes, I guess, given his up/down career; but wtf is Jim Steinman doing allowing this song in an ad???? This is the man who took out a court order to stop meat loaf singing All Coming Back To Me Now many years ago, saying it was a girl’s song not a man’s (he was right, though the loafster eventually did the song on Bat 3 (shudder!!) ) THAT’S how protective Jim Steinman is of his music!!
Now… this…?!?!

This makes me sick. How many starving, dying people could have been fed and saved with that money? People shouldn’t be ALLOWED to recklessly waste money like this. And on what? Wine?!?!
I hope this guys sleeps well at night.

E Street Band Keyboardist Dies at 58

without comments

“NEW YORK (April 18th) – Danny Federici, the longtime keyboard player for Bruce Springsteen whose stylish work helped define the E Street Band’s sound on hits from “Hungry Heart” through “The Rising,” died Thursday. He was 58.

Federici, who had battled melanoma for three years, died at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. News of his death was posted late Thursday on Springsteen’s official Web site.”

He had just joined them onstage recently, I had thought it was because he was on the mend; I guess it was for the other reason…
Along with Garry Tallent, Danny Federicia was probably the member of the E Street Band whose playing I most loved. When I hum a Brucer song, I hum the organ parts.
A Big, Big loss.

None But The Brave

A favourite song of mine from bruce’s unreleased catalogue. Although technically it isn’t unreleased anymore because it’s on his Essential collection. But you know what I mean.
