I've seen the Boss three times, which translates to roughly 12 hours of rock 'n' roll. His concerts are more like musical marathons. At the ones I've attended, he's never played "Candy's Room," a personal favorite of mine. Hell, he's only got 23 albums worth of material to draw from. C'mon, Bruce! How about some "Candy's Room," huh?

Anyway, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's new disc "Magic" has gone all kinds of platinum worldwide, and features a sound that hasn't strayed too far from the group's twang and bang of guitar and drums, with blue collar heart and American soul. He makes me wanna wave the flag.
