In a year where many legendary artists sold their publishing rights, Bruce Springsteen may have topped them all. Billboard is reporting that the Boss is unloading his masters and publishing to Sony to the tune of $500 million. No, your eyes don’t deceive you. That’s $500 million.

The drummer is the job in a rock band with the highest turnover rate — a cliché lampooned memorably in This is Spinal Tap. And if it takes a few albums for a group’s definitive lineup to click into place, the drummer is often the final piece of the puzzle to arrive. But it’s often […]
John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen have joined forces for the first time in their decorated careers on “Wasted Days.” The new video, directed and produced by Springsteen collaborator Thom Zimmy, was filmed in the Boss’ home state of New Jersey earlier in September.

Three of the 100 are in this picture! The Rolling Stones, in 1964, from left to right: Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Brian Jones. The problem with lists like this is they are invariably bullshit. So our prime objective was to make sure we didn’t do a bullshit list. I’m not saying we did a scientific one […]
