it's really strange: when other band members got Covid the public got informed more or less immediately. And now they are cancelling shows due to 'illness'… (and don't even confirm who's ill)

They never confirmed it was a band member either. It could just as easily have been a close family member. It also may not have been anything covid-related.

AFAIK the public only knew that band members were missing from previous shows when they didn't appear onstage.

Some band members are more irreplaceable than others. Max Weinberg or Roy Bittan being ill would pretty much have necessitated a postponement but announcing a show being off 'due to illness' without any further details avoids the prospect of a meltdown by thousands of people who maybe dont grasp that.

He's been highlighting a different charity every tour stop with workers collecting contributions on the concourse. The show I saw it was for a food bank in my neighborhood. They raised over $20000 which was much needed. Nice setlist. Dirty Water!

Nice move, for sure, but with his high ticket prices, I hope he is donating too.

You can bet he is. He has supported lots of causes.

The incongruance between that Bruce and our now-greedy Bruce causes some of us longtime fans to wonder if he has something specific in mind for the billion dollars he's taking the heat (from me among others) for piling up, other than making his three kids a wealthy Walton or Murdoch or Johnson(& Johnson)-like dynasty of the intergenerationally grossly over-privileged. Which, the overall track record shows, isn't particularly conducive to leaving useful descendants for the world to have to tolerate.

It wouldn't surprise me if he tries to do something much more positive with his mountain of loot than just setting the stage for unattractive inheritance squabbles for a generation or two or three to come.

RE: DIRTY WATER

So, if I hang a Shine A Light banner from the upper deck of Wrigley Field, there's hope?

Keep in mind one of his sons is a firefighter & deserves some respect for that.

I recently read that Bruce's sister had a small part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High back in the early 80s. Don't think it was a speaking part.

She had one line. I don't remember it exactly but it was something like: "It's such a put-down."
