The Summer of Sorcery (auf Deutsch)

May 25, 2019October 5, 2019 ~ @AnnaLind1 ~ 2 Comments

Gestern habe ich mir im Kino Asbury Park: Riot Redemption Rock 'n Roll angesehen. Es ist ein Dokumentarfilm, der die Geschichte von Asbury Park und dessen Musikszene erzählt. Genau dort haben u.a Bruce Springsteen, Little Steven und Southside Johnny ihre musikalischen Fähigkeiten verfeinert. Der Film ist absolut interessant und sehenswert aber, für mich, war die … Continue reading The Summer of Sorcery (auf Deutsch)

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up!

For quite a few years now I haven't had a record player. I switched to CD's when that became popular and the last years I've depended on streaming services such as Spotify and YouTube to provide me with music.

October 21, 2018October 25, 2018 ~ @AnnaLind1 ~ 1 Comment

This entry, and the next (Trouble in Paradise), focus on the relatively rare occasions where Bruce Springsteen has co-credit on songs. As you will learn the reason for the co-credits are either that the collaborators have co-written or finished something he started OR had their song amended by Springsteen. I don't claim that the songs … Continue reading Because the Night (co-written songs part 1)

The rock club Pustervik in Gothenburg, Sweden has been sold out for a long time and as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes enter the stage and open with All I Needed Was You, the spirit in the venue rises. I'm up front stage right. With only the rail between me and the stage I'm happy … Continue reading Talk To Me (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, 22 Mars, 2018)
