We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair β€” the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Gourmet Magazine Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

CondΓ© Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Don’t trust the robo transcript. Use headphones and a high res camera and mic. I’ll send you the links we were sent for the ASFS oral history project.

Neon lighted sign for Chicago’ Wrigley Field announcing a Bruce Springsteen and the E street band concert. It’s dusk so the sign is nice and bright on an early September night in 2015.

it is my belief that when people spend years and decades of their lives poring over a subject I find really boring, like the law or regulations or medical research, I should just listen to them and spend my time on things I actually like doing and am capable of comprehending by myself
