Bruce Springsteen
My latest “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
This week we learned how long it took Bruce Springsteen to get his just rewards, revisited Jim Morrison getting arrested onstage and Ray Charles getting strangled onstage (seriously, he didn’t see it coming).

It must be love.

Who is Arcade Fire?
My latest “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
In this installment we revisit two great moments — the debut of Rebecca Black‘s “Friday” and the “Who is Arcade Fire?” meme — as well as find an excuse to mention Gino Vannelli.
