Show a little faith there's magic in the night
A blog I read every day and that I can really recommend, if you are a Bruce Springsteen fan, is the the E Street Shuffle-blog (link below).

A little more than a week has passed since my shoulder procedure and I'm slowly recovering - a bit slower than I had expected to be honest.

I was 11 years old when Bryan Adam's fourth studio album Reckless hit the music stores in November 5th, 1984. It became a success in Sweden, in competition with Bruce Springsteen's mega hit album Born In the USA. Reckless features classic hit songs like Summer of 69, Heaven and Run to You and has sold...

This is my 20th entry on this blog and I thought I would take this time to evaluate my own blogging so far and also point my readers to other readable (Springsteen related) blogs. When I started blogging I was terrified that people wouldn't want to read what I had written and that I would... Continue Reading →
