Die New York Times schreibt:

Even Bruce Springsteen jams at Bonnaroo. Phish was Bonnaroo’s finale, playing two sets on Sunday night, and to cap its first one, Phish’s guitarist, Trey Anastasio — who could not have been grinning any wider — described the first rock concert he ever attended, in Princeton, N.J., as a show “exploding with energy for three straight hours.” Then he brought out his “boyhood hero,” the rocker who played that concert: Mr. Springsteen, still in Tennessee after headlining Bonnaroo on Saturday night.

Bruce Springsteens „Super Bowl Journal“ kommt ins Fernsehen

backstreets.com berichtet, dass Bruce Springsteens „Super Bowl Journal“ in Kürze ins Fernsehen kommen wird. Angeblich hat sich auch das ZDF um die Rechte bemüht.

Working on a Dream: A Super Bowl Journal is a new behind-the-scenes documentary directed and edited by Thom Zimny. Remember the Super Bowl Journal Bruce published online? Springsteen himself narrates the film, sharing both his fears and his excitement as footage takes us from the first rehearsal in Jersey to a Tampa rehearsal in the pouring rain, from working with the gospel choir to working out the knee-slide with the cameraman, and onward. Zimny combines never-before-seen footage from the press conference, the rehearsals, the game, band meetings, in Bruce’s trailer backstage, and on the field with the E Street Band for the main event.
