Julian Casablancas ‘Dancing in the Dark’ Cover

I’ve always cursed the eyes of anyone covering one of Springsteen’s finest hits, but aside from a couple of flabby drum fills, Julian Casablancas and his hired guns did a fine tribute to The Boss’ ‘Dancing in the Dark’ in St Louis on Monday night. You might not be able to see anything from this video, but for a fan clip on Youtube, the audio’s in pretty good shape. This gun’s for hire!

“I Think It Sucks” Steve Van Zandt on ‘Born To Run’

"All I did on 'Born To Run' were the horns on 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’. I was just in the studio, hanging around. He said, 'What do you think?' and I said, 'I think it sucks.' And he said, 'Well, go fucking fix it, then.'"

"So I went and fixed it. People came to the Bottom Line [venue] basically to laugh at us. And a funny thing happened: we fucking blew their minds."  Steve Van Zandt

Lynn Goldsmith is our hero! Not only is she a successful director, recording artist and a stone-cold fox, but she’s also captured some of the finest shots of the finest musicians in history.

Here’s a series of shots that Lynn has taken of Bruce Springsteen over the years. Budding rock photographers, pay attention Goddammit!!!
