About this listen
Bruce Springsteen has been making waves in the last week with a mix of heartfelt tributes, surprise rock n roll moments, and nods from the elite. On December 14, The Boss crashed the Stone Pony in Asbury Park for a WhyHunger 50th anniversary bash alongside Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, according to Rolling Stone via XRock1039. They ripped into I Dont Want to Go Home, 10th Avenue Freeze-Out, Merry Christmas Baby, and a wild 10-minute Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, even powering through a fire alarm that had the crowd chanting Sam Cooke tunes during the six-minute glitch pure Jersey grit.
Two days later, on December 16, Springsteens official site shared his poignant tribute to late Texas rocker Joe Ely, calling him a singular American singer, great musician, and true friend whose voice and companionship hell miss, with hearts out to Elys wife Sharon and family a rare personal glimpse into The Bosses inner circle.
Musically, ClassicRock939 reports Barack Obama just named Springsteens Faithless one of his top 2025 picks, the title track from the unreleased Tracks II box set soundtrack recorded between his Devils Dust tour and Seeger Sessions album Obama shared it on Facebook alongside his fave books and flicks, cementing Springsteens cultural staying power.
No fresh public appearances or social media posts from Bruce himself in the past 24 hours, but buzz swirls around the upcoming biopic Springsteen Deliver Me from Nowhere, based on Warren Zanes book. NHPR details Zanes on-set thrills, spotting directors chairs labeled for Bruce and manager Jon Landau, praising it as a brave dive into Springsteens Nebraska era mental health struggles over glory days. AOL adds an exclusive: Bruce revealed his sister called it spot-on after screening. Thats biographical gold, folks, weighing heavy for the long haul.
Meanwhile, a Springsteen Spectacular tribute show hits Belfasts Ulster Hall December 27, but thats no Boss just a spot-on impersonator. Tour dates simmer via Ticketmaster, with fans griping about past fatigue.
