Update on his website, does not sound good.

Bruce Springsteen played 'Take It Easy' for Glenn Frey last night in Chicago.

Awww, Boys Of Summer is one of my favourite songs, but they didn't play it when I saw them Did get Life's Been Good though!

I did just that when I (briefly) led the table one year! Mind you, I stopped short of framing it ...

While I do like the songs of the Eagles, I agree with you that "Pink Champagne on ice" is a gastronomical disaster. And to answer you last question, I think U2 will end up filling that slot. Watching Rolling Stones is also an expensive endeavor these days. I think people were complaining about the ticket prices for Bruce Springsteen's current US tour. Springsteen tickets go for about $100 although they're not the best of seats. It's most likely double that if you want a decent view of the stage. Yeah, I think they were a lot higher than usual in some venues this time though, hence the grumbling. But compared with some others, Bruce's prices are on the low side and as Whitehouse points out, you get a lot for your money. Indeed! Check out the set list at the bottom of this page of Rolling Stone magazine ​That's 33 songs in one concert!!​ ​That's value for your money and really justifies a high ticket price.​ Plus, he's an all around nice guy. OK, here's some personal stats. I went to 5 shows on Bruce's last tour. I heard a total of 152 songs which included 83 different ones. That is quite impressive.

The thing about going to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is that you get something different every time, whereas most artists stick to the same set list, more or less. But with Bruce, you literally don't know what's coming next, he will start out with a set list in mind but is quite capable of completely changing it a few songs in. Given his enormous back catalogue, and including covers, it's astonishing that the band can accommodate this, but they do. He does requests from the audience as well. And he doesn't always do his "greatest hits". You can probably count on hearing Born To Run and Dancing In The Dark, but I still wouldn't bet my house on it. The current tour is a bit different because they are playing the whole of The River album, so there's 20 songs that you know are coming. While I would like to hear that, because there are some great songs that are very rarely played live, I would miss the surprise element that makes a Bruce show unique. I will try and get a ticket if he brings the show to Europe, but won't be so keen to go to more than one,

Then I'd better have 5 Feb, the day my Dad died (an unimaginably long time ago now).

The team name "Can I Join The Derby Dead Pool?" is rather sweet. Does anyone else think they just forgot to put in the team name?

I doubt that.

Clearly Jesus has different taste in music.

This was the highlight for me (not from the gig I was at, obviously).

Oh, I agree completely. It was just that you were blaming Bob, when I doubt he had much say in it. In this case the girls seem to be OK with their names, at least none of them have publicly rejected them. And Peaches continued the wackiness by naming her children Astala Dylan Willow and Phaedra Bloom Forever. Which wouldn't be too bad if the poor kids were girls. But they're boys!

Well, it is the woman who puts in most of the effort to produce a child, and I bet that 9/10 times she will get her way over the choice of name, especially if she times it right But I admit to having a soft spot for Bob.

Aye, I had an idea that may have been the case but was too lazy to check it . Even so, that didn't stop the press and mejia banging on about Zowie Bowie. There's more than one case of it around though, Geldof, Mr humanitarian, Mr fathers rights, yes I'm looking at you... start at home eh? Ok, it's just a name, but it's not the parent that has to live with it. My only conclusion as to why they do it, is an ego the size of a planet. It bugs me that's all. I suspect you may be pointing the finger at the wrong parent. Paula continued her crimes with Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, did she not.

I did go to see them at the O2 a couple of years back. but only because there wasn't much else going on in my gig diary and I could get a ticket for around £50. I only went for Joe Walsh really. It was pretty dull, except for Joe.

These people should be shot. Self satisfied egotistical pillock, change your own damn name to Maggie. (um, that's him not you phantom...). "He can change it if he doesn't like it when he's older"? With any luck, he'll be the one that shoots you. Whilst there is all this hand wringing about Bowie going on, for all his qualities he was guilty of this too, no wonder the director of "Moon" refers to himself as Duncan Jones. Yes it's not sexual, but I'd still call it child abuse. To be fair, that's the name he was given. Duncan is his first name. He's registered as Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones.

Respect for such a good early performance - it's a marathon, mind! Indeed, and one in which the unexpected must always be expected

Whilst he looks a bit older than when I last saw him pictured I still still think he looks a few years younger than 92.I think it was wise to leave him off this year.Still working and walking about (albeit with a stick) and has no known health problems or even rumours of any health problems. The reason he looks so much better in the May photo is because he's smiling, and it takes years off him.

So, no Heartache Tonight after all.

Dead edit: "Death in the Fastlane", or something? I'm no good at these... He's Already Gone. There are loads. I think we've done them all already.

Sorry for double post but I enjoyed last night's little reference to Night of the Demon/Hounds of Love. And one of the tiger's victims being called Ricky Parker. (I had to have that explained to me, though)

Seems I should have added a bit more or had more thought before I posted earlier My Parents, grandparents, and their siblings all died over 80, the eldest 93. I can't imagine living another 10 let alone 40. And I express my condolence to family, friends, and fans of Motorhead legend Ian Lemmy Kilmeister. I partied with him as well Bollocks. And it's Kilmister. Thanks for the insightful thought provoking reply. I have always liked intelligent conversation. To be fair, Lardy, Lemmy must have partied with loads of people, so some of them are bound to crop up. That's as maybe, and I wouldn't disagree that Lemmy probably rocked it with a trillion people, but whenever anyone's first line of a conversation is 'oh yeh, I've partied with loads of famous dudes and shagged birds till my cock fell off' then I call bullshit. Do you call bullshit out of disbelief or jealousy? I could play smackdown and post photos from the collection, including the tattoo of Ozzy's autograph on my stomach that he signed in '96 above a tattoo he bought me back in '86 after working on a video with him. Hmm, who else? U2, Peter Frampton, Plasmatics, Ace Frehley, Leslie West, Twisted Sister, Brian Setzer, Ratt, Poison, Rick Derringer, Billy Idol, Sylvester Stallone, Jodie Foster, Joe Spinell, off the top of my head. Then there was the time I took Type O Negative to one of their record sightings and later a show in my '67 Cadillac hearse. The crowd on line wigged out when they jumped off the table with a body shaped coffin on it. I'd be reluctant to show piles of pills, hash, opium and cocaine on 8 foot coffee tables, and definitely wouldn't share nude or other photos that could identify any of the women. The post was to share my thoughts on the topic and life in general, how they related to my current situation where I was forced to give up that lifestyle and sell everything I had while fighting for disability money to kick in. I went from a very small nobody to nothing at all, not to chest thump. I see now that it was a bad idea to think I might have found some decent human beings I might have shared some of my stories/photos with. I guess some people can't appreciate that somebody else might have had a little bit better of a life. What a bunch of miserable cunts. I have no reason not to believe you. Celebs don't exist in a vacuum. One of my neighbours is in the music business, and he knows tons of household names. Funnily enough when he was in my pub quiz team, he was no help in the music round because he knew too much and had forgotten some of it
