Ha!

Your beloved Wallflowers have quite the gig coming up: playing after a Nationals game:
I see an advertisement behind home plate that says the Wallflowers are playing after the game on July 21. Are you fired up for that? Do you think they open with "One Headlight" or close with it? Encore? What do they play in between?
Which of course reminds you of this:

The Sports Guy has been twittering about Bruce all day and he reminded me of this clip, when Bruce played with the Wallflowers at some awards show on tv in 1997. I remember laughing at the time re: Bruce blowing these idiots off the stage, embarrassing the guitar player with his shredding and Dylan's kid by showing some personality and acting like he wasn't completely miserable to be there - typical Bruce, having more energy playing your own song than yourself. I remember Adam Sandler was the host or something at the dais right after, and he said "gee, you think you'd crack a smile if Bruce Springsteen sang your song on tv with you."
