February 19th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor

File this one under, “adventures in creative marketing”.

The good people at Bonnaroo are about to reveal the lineup to the 2013 installment of the Manchester, Tennessee based festival. But this year, they’re doing it live. And with Weird Al Yankovic! Yes, Weird Al will be hosting, along with a slew of other musicians and comedians, the Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon aka B.L.A.M. or #BLAM if you’re on Twitter.

But it’s not …

Bruce Springsteen To Rally For Obama in Ohio

October 13th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

In 2008, Bruce Springsteen lead the rally for Obama with constant appearances. This year, he has yet to appear on the campaign at all, but now the New Jersey singer has announced he will in Ohio on October 18.

Bruce is a famous supporter of Democrats who once stopped Ronald Reagan from campaigning on the song “Born in the U.S.A.” Considering “Born in the U.S.A.” is about a shoddy economy and disagreeing with a war America fought in. Reagan clearly understood lyrical intentions.

Bill Clinton will also be at the rally. No word yet on if the former President will …

Tom Morello Not a Fan of Paul Ryan

August 18th, 2012 Michael Meeze

Rage Against The Machine guitarist, Tom Morello, lambasted Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Paul Ryan, in an Op-Ed for Rolling Stone. Morello, considered by many as one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, is highly outspoken and minces no words in expressing his confusion and disdain of Ryan. The de facto House of Representatives leader has expressed that Rage Against The Machine is his favorite band.

Morello, in one of the better quotes one will ever read, took Ryan to task. Take the jump to read an excerpt.

LIVE REVIEW: Bruce Springsteen (03/29/2012)

March 30th, 2012 Michael Meeze

It was a blustery, raw night in South Philly. The kind of night where, under any other circumstances, you would have found me in Prohibition Tap Room, sipping on a brew and eating a golden-crusted gourmet grilled cheese. But this night was different. On this night, me and 20,000 other employees had a meeting with our Boss. So we braved the piercing, late March gusts and blasted our radio machines to drawn out the rumble of passing cars on I-95. Bruce Springsteen was calling us. “Where are you headed? A concert?” a scraggly gentleman asked me as I meandered through …

REVIEW: Bruce Spingsteen – Wrecking Ball

March 2nd, 2012 James Shotwell

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Wrecking Ball
Genre: Rock
Label: Columbia

In 1982, I was one year old. I was living in a broken down trailer park, the product of an abusive marriage and a broken home. My mom was a single mother and a Wichita Lineman. Though I lived with her, we were not often in the same room. This was generally due to the fact that she worked long shifts and hard labor to keep the leaky roof over my head. She was the epitome of blue collar struggle.

It would take me 20 years to realize that my …
