Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Have Gun, Will Travel and more
Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 1:52 PM
Here's what I have running in this week's Creative Loafing:
- Have Gun, Will Travel emerges as area's top alt-country act. The Bradenton band has its CD release party for the excellent Casting Shadows Tall As Giants tonight at Crowbar, Ybor City, 9 p.m. Highly recommended. Look for my review of the concert posted here on Saturday.
- Green at the gills: A contrarian's view of going green.
- Bruce Springsteen gets Boss-y at the Forum. Another show I can't miss. Look for a review of it by Senior Editor Eric Snider or me — or both of us — posted here on Tuesday; we'll be attending the concert together.
- Panic at the Disco to groove at Ruth Eckerd Hall.
- The Matches and All Time Low rep AP Tour.
- Review of New CDs from R.E.M., The Raconteurs (by ES) and Robert Walter (ES). We debated on giving R.E.M.'s latest 4 1/2 (out of 5) stars but I wussed out at the last minute and stuck with 4. It's a great disc and maybe deserved the higher rating. Then again, I don't think I've given 4 1/2 stars to a new release in the past year. Thoughts?
- Avril Lavigne, Car Bomb Driver and more in Music Week. I got a bit wordy on the Lavigne entry but thought her pilfering ways needed to be revealed.
- Also, an expanded version of my blog post Top 10: Bob Dylan lyrics is running this week in CL's Sarasota edition under the headline: Bob Dylan, Pulitzer-Prize winner.
\Have Gun, Will Travel performing "Garden Suite," in February, at Dave's Aqua Lounge, St. Petersburg.

You know who Bruce Springstein reminds me of? Billy Joel! Maybe you guys can snuggle during "streets of Philadelphia".

Not even a contest. That's like saying "what's better, a kick in the groin, or a new episode of Murphy Brown?". Come on. A piece of trivia, I have heard from some very reliable sources that "Allentown" was the original choice for the theme music to "Bosom Buddies"! You don't see Peter Scolari asking just anyone to score his art... Take that "teh boss"!
I would try to balance out the anti-jersey stuff with pro-jersey stuff, but I can't find any. As for the anti-boss stuff, it's time someone awoke from the lackadaisical stupor his music apparently overtook America with. I doubt my one anti-boss comment is going to hurt his Borders and Starbucks sales. And the only Halloween song I listen to is "Monster Mash". And, on a side note, I think Glory Days pales in comparison to the Lindsey Buckingham song Holiday Road. These subjects are not related, but the facts are still true.
