Okay, here's what I want for my birthday, and it's not too much to ask.
On October 2, I hit double nickels. 55. On that date, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band release the new album "Magic" and play the Hartford Civic Center. I don't need front row seats, but down in front would be nice.
And since his new single, "Radio Nowhere," (released today as a free download on iTunes), is about the search for real radio ("Is there anyone alive out there?"), I'd invite Bruce to visit my radio show the next morning to play a few songs live. After all, we little indy stations are the only ones who have been playing Bruce's new music for the past couple of years.
That's all I want for my birthday. Pass this request along to Bruce, please.
