Springsteen Sightings

The woeful Pirates collapsed down the stretch and didn't make it into the Major League Baseball playoffs.  But the world continues.  I've noticed that the "theme song" for Fox and MLB Network's introduction to its games this year is Bruce Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams."  Most of what you hear is the long guitar riff, but you can catch the title words in the longer intros.

Speaking of themes, the Boss came out of political retirement to offer two concerts for President Obama, tonight in Ames, Iowa, and yesterday in suburban Cleveland.  The Boss's warm-up act was former President Bill Clinton.  

And...only eight more days till Bruce and his bandmates come to Pittsburgh to sold-out Consol Energy Arena for another concert on Saturday, October 27.  For those who doubt--of course I'll be there!  Can't wait!
