WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN?!
Gaga's totally onboard with the publicity campaign, but I don't think Bruce has
even done one tweet yet.
I hope its not that Gaga is doing it out of love and respect for the Stones,
but Bruce is just doing it for the publicity and fat paycheck
(Gaga's fans are all excited that she's gone back to her Fame Monster look
for this PPV. For them, its like the Stones bringing back Mick Taylor)
My guess is that Bruce Springsteen is laying low out of respect for the families and victims of the tragedy in Connecticut.
Yeah, it must be tough being Bruce, caring so much...
Too bad he doesn't care a bit more about finally re-paying some of the huge
debt he owes the Stones. Gaga owes much less to them, and look what she's doing.
Sometimes it seems like multiple people use your account here, because your opinions change so drastically..... like just the other day you were hating hard on eggegg, saying how you back whatshername who hates eggegg for being fake and would not even watch her... and now you (or someone using your account) loves eggegg?
On the contrary, I've been a model of consistency
I've stated repeatedly that I do not like Gaga or her music or her net cultural impact
On the other hand, I've stated I very much admire her talent, media savvy, and
work ethic
Further, I have indicated continuously swelling enthusiasm for this Pay Per View
event, and am therefore grateful to Gaga for hyping it in a most ingenious way
to her huge fan base. Therefore irritated at Springsteen for sitting on his hands
(owe, you know, like the Stones owe Muddy)

I wondered if they would postpone as a mark of respect, I doubt if anyone feels like a party at the moment.

I personaly think the show will take place. It is not something that would be in any way disgraceful or disrespectful towards the victims or those mourning.
It is true, that it is entertainment and right now it is not a time for entertainent in the US. On the other hand, The Stones will pretty much just go to work and do their job, just like millions and millions of other people around the Globe. Not going to work is not something that would either help the victims or prevent such horrible things to happen in the future. Sadly. Quite on the contrary - there should be taken serious action to prevent those things, but that won't unfortunately happen and it has nothing to do with The Stones and I am getting into politics now, which I don't want to.
The point is, that of course, this is not a party time, but it is not The Stones throwing a party. It is The Stones playing a concert, which for them is like going to an office for someone else. I know, it is very sensitive thing and I absolutely don't want to touch anyone's feelings, being very shaken myself. Just trying to say, that doing this show doesn't have to be necessarily viewd as a bad disrespectful thing.
Anyway, I believe the show will take place and SFTD will most likely be omitted ,just like in Poland in 2007.

Hope they begin with I Wanna Be Your Man. I'll be watching on the Norwegian Tv2. Danish channel bosses would rather rerun 90210 it seems. Thank you Norway!!!!

Personally I don't think Bruce owes the Stones that much. And I understand what superrevvy means by 'owe' in this context. I also don't quite see Jagger "ripping him a new one in front of the whole world" for what? not tweeting about the PPV enough?
On the other hand I find it really interesting what superrevvy is saying about the Gaga fans being excited re her new/old look. That it is a big deal for them. I would not have known that. I like that she seems excited about being with 'the Boys'.
I wish someone would make me appreciate the performance by Florence on GS. The accolades come from people who's opinion I respect a lot here ( Max's Kansas, Mathijs etc). I watched her spot several times; in different settings. Maybe it was different live. But to me she is screaming, literally. She is flat.
I liked her presence a bit.
Absolutely agree that the show must go on and they must not censor the set list - this is not China is it?Quote

I certainly hope SFD is not omitted. Hand wringers will psychoanalyze every song in the catalogue for any obscure reference to a tragedy or misfortune.
Having been in the healthcare environment for over 30 years, one thing that is encouraged more than anything is life must press on. You are allowed to smile the next day and actually things in life while you are still here.
Understandable that family and people with close ties to the individuals involved will go through a long and difficult recovery. But people in the rest of the world can't sit crying in the corner.
I and the rest of the posters here should move on. I certainly intend to concentrate on the Stones tonight and have a great time. Dropping songs like SFD, One Shot, Good Bye Ruby Tuesday, CAGWYW, Street Fighting Man, Heartbreaker, Rock and a Hard Place, Out of Control, Let it Bleed, Anybody Seen my Baby or any other song that some politically correct emotional clack can loosely connect to this whole terrible day is irresponsable
It is NOT the Stones fault nor is it their responsibility.
See you at the Edison Pub.

I see Bruce playing one of the 60's songs such as It's all over now or Last time or others. Bruce seems to fit well with 60's music when playing with others. For example, Pretty Woman w/ Roy Orbisson.

Ive heard that It's All Over Now is the first song Bruce learned to play when he was a teenager. I think there's a chance this could be the song he joins them on.
