Springsteen Birthday Bash
The Boss turns 60 today, and if you have a hard time believing that, check him out on the cover of AARP magazine. They're celebrating at WXPN and the World Cafe Live. This morning, from 10 to 2, it's all Springsteen songs and covers on the radio. Tonight, from 7 to 10, a long list of local and locally connected singers and songwriters will do Springsteen covers at the WCL. The man himself is only performing Born to Run live in its entirety in Chicago and Nashville this fall, but the PHILL-E Street Band will be doing it from "Thunder Road" to "Jungleland" tonight. That's almost as good, right? Artists on the bill include Sharon Little, Scot Sax, Chris Casper, East Hundred, John Train featuring Mike Brenner, James Maddock, The Great Unknown and a bunch of others.
