"This is the last show of the tour - at least for a while". That was Bruce's only
comment at the second show in Paris on May 26 in regard to whether the Solo Acoustic
Tour was over or not. Inside sources have said it was definitely the last show of the entire
tour, but Bruce's words leave a door open. Perhaps a theory is that he will take a look at the
recordings he may (or may not) have been ... Read more

For anyone who didn't know already, Bruce commenced his European tour last
night in Vienna, Austria. The set list was pretty unremarkable, except maybe for the fact that
he performed "Freehold", his ode to his hometown in New Jersey, that was first performed
in Freehold and has since been aired a few times in Australia. ... Read more

Bruce received the Polar Music Award in Stockholm Sweden this afternoon. The
event was broadcast live on Swedish TV, first the actual award ceremony this afternoon,
and tonight the dinner where Bruce made a long acceptance speech and performed two
songs acoustically: "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and "Thunder Road". This was followed by a
message from Bill Clinton read by the American Ambassador in ... Read more

This is an absolutely unconfirmed rumor... Bruce's next album is to be released on

Something's cooking. There are now rumors of Bruce doing more shows in the
States this summer. A local radio station reported that negotiations were taking place
concerning a show in Oklahoma City, but a few days later the same radio station said that
the parties involved couldn't agree on a date, so the plans had now been scrapped.
However, it can be taken as an indication that Bruce has stil ... Read more

A few weeks ago a Norwegian newspaper reported that Bruce would play in
Norway this year with the E Street Band. We have investigated the matter (thanks Thorleif!).
It turns out the journalist who wrote the piece talked to an employee at the Norwegian
concert bureau Gunnar Eide A/S who said that Bruce planned to go out on a new tour later
this year (as in, not the Shut the Fuck Up Tour) and th ... Read more

Tickets for the Vienna shows went on sale at 10 o'clock this morning without any
announcement. The shows haven't even been officially confirmed. The most surprising thing
is that the dates of the shows have been changed to the 6th and 7th of May whereas
previously they were scheduled for the 11th and 12th. This means that the Warsaw dates
will probably also be moved, most likely to the 9th and ... Read more

Unlike what we've been writing earlier it really does look like Bruce is going to
carry out his own personal Tour de France in May with no less than six shows taking place
in French provincial towns and Paris. Why he's doing this is a good question. France has
never been a big Bruce country. He only played one show there on the '93 tour, allegedly
because the French promotors weren't intereste ... Read more

Bruce made a guest appearance with Jakob Dylan's band The Wallflowers at
Tradewinds in Sea Bright, N.J. He sang backup and played guitar on several songs. The
band was also joined by Bon Jovi (for what it's worth). For those of you who're not familiar
with Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers, Jakob is the son of Bob Dylan, but his music may
have more in common with Bruce's than with his father's. ... Read more

| Deborah Brooks commenting on : I enjoyed it overall, but kind felt bogged down in the manager, contract, this producer, that producer, this person was the technician, etc... I guess I wanted a bit more about being a father/husband...not PERSONAL..I know he keeps his life private and he SHOULD, but I know he is said to be an exceptional father and so many rockers DON"T pull that off. |
| Karsten, Greasy Lake commenting on : Good question. You'll just have to make a guess. But if I may give you a hint, Marc Dolan is on par with the general public opinion, although he takes it a step further than probably most fans would. |
| Mimi Griswold commenting on : Um, if we're trying to win the book... you can pretty much assume we have not read it yet.. so how could we lnow the correct answer? |
