Want to see Bruce Springsteen live? Too bad! I got the last ticket, making this following article utterly pointless. This guy I "pleasured" in an alley said he'd give me tickets for Springsteen or Billy Joel or Elton John. I chose the true American Idol.
Just yesterday, "The Godfather of Soul" released a new album, Working on a Dream (TMT Review) at the ripe age of 59. And now he'll be touring the U.S. with -- who else? -- Dick Cheney, who will be opening with a selection of "sex poems."
Even as the biggest fan I find all this "Working on a Dream" shit quite ironic considering his 1989 hit "Runnin' Down a Dream." Well, what is it Bruce? "Workin" or "Runnin' Down"? I guess I don't care, as long as he plays some of his true hits, like "Don't Do Me Like That," "Don't Come Around Here No More," and the testicular anthem "Free Fallin'."
Springsteen, with his beautiful blonde hair, will kick off the tour a month before the "actual" tour by playing the Superbowl, most likely rockin' out to an oldie like "Mary Jane's Last Dance" or "Learning to Fly." Get ready to toke up everyone: "The Gambler" is coming to town!
