He's playing at the Canyon Club near me...I will be sure to miss it.

Born To Run rocks! Hopefully he gets into deeper cuts and not the old warhorses.

Back in the early to mid 70's (I think 1974) I was given some press tickets to see him at the Troubadour, I thought I was going to see Bruce. Oh well, at least it was a free show for me.

I wish the Canyon club was near me, it is the best rock and roll club in the world. They seem to book everybody in their room eventually. If I move to LA it will be near that club, probably within walking distance.


Although with that said, I dont think I would see this show, nothing aginst his fans, I just never got it, but I do see some awesome bands coming to The Canyon soon.

I use to live in Agoura Hills, wish I still did (But the Canyon is still less than 10 miles from me now). Acts I've seen there include Buddy Guy, Eric Burdon, Bachman - Turner, Johnny Winter, Ray Davies just to name a few. I even had tickets to see Mick Taylor there and that show cancelled (Stones content, lol).

Doesn't he play county fairs anymore? That would be the only place worth seeing him, free with admission. I notice he's doing a Florida cruise. It's getting to be quite the trend, getting stuck on a cruise ship with the likes of him or the Moody Blues. A baby boomer nightmare come to life.

I saw him live a few years ago where he was the entertainment at an outdoor food fair, and he was very good. He was so upbeat it was surprising to then read his memoirs to learn he's always suffered from chronic depression.

It was amusing to read that when he filmed HARD TO HOLD with Patti Hansen, Keith visited the set to size up Rick; that he wouldn't try to steal Patti. Rick was just ecstatic to meet his idol.

if he didn't always suffer from it, could it still be chronic?

He was quite good in Sound City

You're the one who needs some new material. Still whining about the same old shit. Put your big girl panties on and get over it.

Ricks playing in some canyon? Life's been rough for the poor boy...

Love him on General Hospital

The Canyon is the best rock club on the planet,

2 better:

The Continental Club on Congress Avenue ($2 beer and Redd Volkaert free)
The Belly Up Tavern on Cedros (The Hellecasters or Blink 182 for $25 beer NOT free)

When Rick Springfield would come for a show to my area, I would like to go. Because he's on my "Must-Have-Seen-In_Concert-List".

Sorry to get your panties in a bind fella...

Rick Springfield; Bruce

Doctor, doctor you gotta help me yeah
You gotta make it right for me
It seems this other man's name has been following me around
And it just won't let me be
You see I got this name and he's got this name too know
Well they're kinda close only a blind crazy fool
Would think I was him it's like saying green is blue
But let me tell you brother it started being a bother
When he made the cover of Time magazine

I was at this party in the wild-hilled hills
Just the other night
Her name was Shelly I introduced myself
She just smiled and said "all right"
Well we got talkin' and drinkin' wine
And she said she liked my music thought it was fine
She said, "Let's make love, your place or mine"
And in the middle of the passion I was on the borderline
When she called out a name but it wasn't mine

She called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her
My name is Rick I'm gonna stick it to ya babe

And there's this kid walking carrying a guitar
You know I told him that I played
He asked me my name you know I told him
I said it plain as clear as day
Well he seemed really, clearly, sincerely impressed
And as he pulled a piece paper for me to sign from his vest
He said, "I thought Born To Run was one of your best"
Awww wait a minute man, who do you think I am?
He answered, "Mr. Springsteen, your a famous man."

He called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear him calling Bruce, Bruce
He called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear him
My name is Richard gonna hit it to you babe

You know my mama called me long distance yesterday
And as she got off the phone I swear I heard her say

Bye bye Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her calling Bruce, Bruce
She called me Bruce, Bruce
I can hear her
My name is Ricky gonna stick it to you babe

Bet he got more chicks than your Bruce (or you for that matter).
><

Lyrics to "Me and Johnny":

Lookin' back I'd say we broke a few rules
Left one or two hearts in a ruin
Spent all that precious time doin'
Things we figured that Presley might have done

Stole a few cars, never got caught
Started some fights in the scrimmage
We got caught up in the image
Of playing young rebels by the handbook

Looking back I guess we had some attitude
We were gonna be hard and tough

Me and Johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna shine

Look in the mirror watch our faces change
We were gonna be McCartney clones
We skipped school to see the Rolling Stones
And sang their songs on the train on our way home

We were gonna be like all of them
Uncompromising to the very end
Live for girls, guitars and glory
And someday they'd write our story

Sometimes I think that they clapped in sympathy
But we were gonna be hard and tough

Me and Johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Me and Johnny
We may get blood on our face
We're gonna have our place
In the sun

Johnny's still living, back in Australia
I hear he's got himself a wife and kids
And I'm still chasing whatever it is
That put me out here on the road in the first place

I think of the times, I cursed out loud
Wishin' I was still runnin' with the same old crowd
Sometimes it can make you cry
Just watching the years roll by

Me and Johnny
We're gonna play tonight
It's gonna be alright
We're gonna have fun tonight
Me and Johnny
We may get blood on our face
We're gonna have our place
In the sun

I wasnt basing it on cheap beer saying this as a local...
I live 2000 miles from Graceland the Canyon Club.

I am just calling it like I see it. I am constantly amazed at the acts they book there, I guess it may have something to do with a lot of "the talent" being somewhat local (they live close) to the club (or LA), and they play warm up gigs there, or something. I dont travel like I used to, so these days it actually makes me kind of sad to read so many great acts playing there, and I am missing them up close and personal.

ROCKMAN

Springfield arranged this 1970 Eleanor Rigby cover that peaked on the Australian singles chart at #4. It's better than I expected:

They spent all their money on the pink clothes? none left over for shoes?

or maybe their parents were cobblers
