When it comes to #Springsteen Christmas songs, most people like Santa Claus is Coming to Town or Merry Christmas Baby. But for my money, the best Bruce holiday song is this version of Blue Christmas, performed live at the old Carousel building in Asbury Park. This song needs more love. 🎸🎷🎄

It’s been a long time, but I had to pop on to sing the praises of @warrenzanes.bsky.social phenomenal book Deliver Me From Nowhere. I finally got around to reading it, and was blown away. I knew it would be good, but I didn’t know it’d be *this* good. Best book on Bruce I’ve ever read and…

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to hear others thoughts. I am not a fan of the song “Springsteen” by Eric Church. I don’t see the song as being *about* Bruce at all. It just lists some of his songs and then he sings “Springsteen.” Ok. I tried to like it, but it does nothing for me.

This article is all over the place in terms of what it’s supposed to be (Bruce’s best? Most popular? Greatest hits? All different things!). Still, this is always a fun exercise. I would replace Dancing, Glory Days and I’m on Fire with Backstreets, Darkness and Racing in the Street. Any others?

Always loved this song by the underrated CCR.

Probably my second favorite song from this album and one of his best videos.
40 years ago this week, Bruce Springsteen released "I'm On Fire," recorded in May 1982, and originally intended for the Nebraska album, but it was not released until Born In The U.S.A. was finished in 1984.

Great thread on the fantastic unreleased Springsteen song “Protection.” Hopefully we will see it on Tracks 2!
OK, I need to break the doomscroll, so here's a few words about the greatest song Bruce Springsteen never released. 🧵

Bruce greets a stuffed panda wearing a “I Heard Bruce Might Show Up” t-shirt. I have seen many items with this phrase at various Asbury Park shops. Fun to see Bruce acknowledging it!

This day in #Springsteen history, Bruce wins the “Best Single” award at the 1985 American Music Awards for Dancing in the Dark. He then heads over to A&M Studios in Hollywood where he recorded his powerful vocals for “We are the World.” If you haven’t seen the great Netflix documentary, please do.

I’m still mourning the Southside Johnny news and thinking of this trio - Springsteen, Southside and Little Steven - singing about the time when they were borderline homeless kids. “We had one coat between us and we never felt cold.” The world is better because those kids found each other.

On this day in 1985, Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA passes Michael Jackson’s Thriller for the longest lasting album on the Billboard Top Ten chart when it reaches its 79th week. Only the Sound of Music lasted longer. Which of these three had the biggest impact on our culture?

Southside Johnny is retiring from touring. This is a sad reminder that the eventually time comes for us all. The Jukes, especially all those Steve Van Zandt produced albums, were always a delight. 💔

Really good interview here with Edward Norton who plays Pete Seeger in the new Bob Dylan biopic. There’s a lot of good stuff in here about #springsteen, such as Norton stating that Bruce is the heir apparent to Seeger, and has taken up the flag of political engagement “way more than Dylan.”
