Tom Morello and Rise Against A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance To Defend Minnesota! with Al Di Meola, Ike Reilly and Bruce Springsteen!

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen Lyrics: Through the winter’s ice and cold Down Nicollet Avenue A city aflame fought fire and ice ‘Neath an occupier’s boots King Trump’s private army from the DHS Guns belted to their coats Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law Or so their story goes Against smoke and rubber bullets By the dawn’s early light Citizens stood for justice Their voices ringing through the night And there were bloody footprints Where mercy should have stood And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets Alex Pretti and Renee Good Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home t...

Bruce Springsteen w/ Tom Morello performs American Skin (41 Shots)   Los Angeles Night 2 4/7/2024

45 years ago today, Bruce Springsteen released his highly-anticipated fourth studio album “Darkness On The Edge Of Town.” To celebrate the anniversary, fans can now dive even deeper into the sonic world of “Darkness.” Listen to a new 20-song live playlist from The Darkness Tour '78 — all previously unavailable on major streaming platforms — including performances of every song from “Darkness On The Edge of Town” and a trove of bonus material from that period.

From PBS: "It’s not unusual for a singer-songwriter to perform songs written by others. But it is unusual for an artist to take on performing an entire album’s worth of someone else’s material, particularly if that someone else is a giant of the music world. Grammy-winning musician Aoife O’Donovan is doing that on her latest tour. Tom Casciato has this story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS."

  Excited that my gouache on paper painting "A Walk With Obama" has been included in the new Gouache Paintings Collection on Saatchi Art. Barack and Michelle Obama were recently seen dancing with Bruce Springsteen at his concert in Barcelona. Michelle was onstage with Bruce, The E Street Band, Patti Scialfa, and Kathleen Sue Spielberg (Kate Capshaw) during the song Glory Days. Barack was offstage hanging out with Steven Spielberg. Megan Wright , Senior Curator at Saatchi Art put the collection together and writes: "When artists seek the richness of opaque color but the fluidity of water-based paint, they turn to gouache. Discover the unique charm of the medium in this expertly-curated collection." This artwork and a group of my recent works on paper will be featured in my next open studio on May 13th from 5-9 PM.

From CBS Sunday Morning: "In-between his chart-topping album "The River" and his classic "Born in the U.S.A.," Bruce Springsteen recorded a collection of songs on a 4-track cassette recorder in a bedroom at his rented farmhouse - dark, mournful, and rough-hewn songs that reflected the upheaval in his life at a time of rising success. The resulting album, 1982's "Nebraska," would be one of his most personal, and helped solidify his status as one of music's most soulful voices. Springsteen talks with correspondent Jim Axelrod about how "Nebraska" spoke to his evolution as a songwriter. Axelrod also talks with Warren Zanes, author of the new book, "Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska'." CBS Sunday Morning" features stories on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science and Americana, and highlights unique human accomplishments and achievements.  Order Warre...
