The cool thing about having a range of people and opinions on this site is the ability to cobble together just about any pop culture list and find people who are willing to buy in. The list of staffers who contributed to this list of favorite Bruce Springsteen fans runs the gamut from diehards to folks who are on that level above “casual fan” and below “OMG OMG BROOOOOOOOOSE!”-like me. I must admit to being somewhat surprised that the list […]

We here at Popblerd are pretty keen on the sexiest senior citizen in rock n’ roll, Bruce Springsteen. Granted, some of us more than others – I hear that man-crush Drew has on The Boss is undying and a little bit creepy. Fortunately for Boss fans, Bruce has announced another round of touring dates for 2012, in anticipation of forthcoming album Wrecking Ball. You can catch the sweat-soaked, three-hour-plus shows at any of the venues below, and in the meantime, […]

Generally speaking, a new Springsteen album is always cause for excitement, especially in this writer’s tiny New Jersey household where The Boss has achieved demigod status along with Stephen Colbert and Batman. Bruce, after enduring the loss of fellow E Street Band members Danny Federici and Clarence Clemons – the men behind, respectively, the keys and the saxophone, arguably two of the most crucial components of the warm, vibrant E Street sound – has valiantly chosen to soldier on […]

Welcome to the lucky seventh episode of Blerd Radio, in which the special guest floodgates open. The episode starts as per usual-with Mike and Jesse talking about…death. We tribute Clarence Clemons and (somewhat less so) “Jackass”‘s Ryan Dunn. Then, we jump into this week’s new releases-a little (well, a lot) of metal for Jesse, a little Jill Scott and Liam Finn for Mike. We are intermittently joined by Regina A.K.A. Mrs. Jesse (she has finally decided to lift her veil […]

I may not be as big a Bruce Springsteen fan as, say, my buddy Dave Lifton . But over the years, I’ve become as big a fan of The Boss as anyone else-it’s kinda hard to avoid if you grow up in the tri-state area. Even if I wasn’t a Springsteen fan, though, I think I’d understand why people are so devoted to The E Street Band. Even with bands that have been around for decades, you don’t always get the feeling […]
