Bruce du Jour

It's never been my slice, but it's worth noting that it was FORTY FUCKING YEARS AGO TODAY that Bruce's first album was released:
On Nov. 22, 2009, Springsteen closed out the ‘Working on a Dream’ tour in Buffalo by playing the ‘Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.’ album in its entirety. “This was the miracle,” he told the crowd. “This was the record that took us from way below zero to…one.” The performance was dedicated to former manager Mike Appel, who bullied Hammond’s secretary into giving his client an audition, and was in attendance.
