This weekend is part 3 of a 3-week birthday celebration of Little Steven's Underground Garage with special guest, Bruce Springsteen. (Shameless plug: airs on 105.7 WROR Sundays at 10pm)
After listening to two weeks of this, all a music geek like me can say is "wow."
Even if you don't like Bruce, it's worth listening to. And if you do like Bruce, you've probably never heard him like this (I know I never have.) It's two old friends who LOVE music talking about music, they just happen to be rock stars. We literally get to be a fly on the wall for their conversation. It ranges from serious, to hilarious to sounding like two giddy school kids. And it reeks of fun and passion, two things we could use more of in this world.
Some highlights so far include: Bruce and Stevie talking about the first records they bought, why guitar lessons are a bummer, how Bruce ripped off the Animals on "Badlands," why the Stones inspired them to try music for a living, and how Bruce played a bass guitar that he thought was a guitar. Plus, you get to hear Bruce whipping out his acoustic guitar and I-Tunes...sometimes using them both at the same time.
If you're old and can't stay up late like me, you can listen to all the shows here.
Bruce recently asked in song "Is anybody alive out there?" If this show doesn't get you excited about music, then I know the answer for you is "No."
