yeah, they're in first place in the AL West, and kind of on a run, despite their usual practice of going into September on a tear, then collapsing. So fingers crossed!

Settle down.

@actblueorg.bsky.social: Hey fyi, the relentless fundraising solicitations, literally hundreds and hundreds, I’ve received from every D campaign in the USA, thanks to your giving my info to anyone willing to pay for it, means I will never ever give money to any campaign affiliated with you.

The assassin turns out to be the same guy it always is: a random crazy with snakes in his head and a legally-obtained battlefield weapon in his hands. He doesn’t have beliefs, let alone a manifesto. He has a disease and a society that mistakes the power to kill for freedom. #kirk

It took me a while to find my way to "Mr. Moonlight" but it's awesome. A kind of r&b that was all about high drama and delightfully cheesy organ. And isn't it churlish to complain about an album with "What You're Doing," "Every Little Thing," "No Reply" and "I'm A Loser"? (spoiler alert: Yes, it is)

I hate it when a brilliant group
of artists takes a break from changing world culture to be merely charming and delightful. They had literally weeks to write and produce their fourth album of the year, and some of that included tour breaks. Why isn’t it BETTER?! (I really love B4S)

Always a chance but we don't have a publisher in the Netherlands yet, so who knows?

Here's our fantastic chat with @peteramescarlin.bsky.social about his definitive R.E.M. biography. We took in Seattle, Athens, and New Jersey in a winding and got some insight into why the book is constructed in an atypical way for a biography and why rebuilding 1970s Athens was important!

Well! Some news! @brucespringsteen.net @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

it already exists!

Hey I got to talk about @brucespringsteen.net and TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND with @davidhepworth.bsky.social on Word in Your Ear! @doubledaybooks.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytuw...

We'll be running an excerpt from it soon, but I wanted to give a huge shout-out to @peteramescarlin.bsky.social’s amazing book 'Tonight in Jungleland: The Making of Born to Run.' Every Springsteen fan needs to buy it now:
www.amazon.com/Tonight-Jung...

Springsteen's label was about to drop him. Then came 'Born to Run' Biographer Peter Ames Carlin describes the making of Born to Run as an "existential moment" for Springsteen: "If this didn't work, he was done." Carlin's new book is Tonight in Jungleland.

As Born to Run approaches the 50th anniversary of its release, here is a great @npr.org Fresh Air with Terry Gross interview with author @peteramescarlin.bsky.social - www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

Tonight in Jungleland: The Making of Born to Run The Making of Born to Run

Happy pub day to @peteramescarlin.bsky.social and “Tonight in Jungleland,” the story of someone putting in the work because it mattered more than anything in the world. It’s inspiring, sharply written, fantastically reported.

And now it's here! TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND, the Making of 'Born to Run' is published today by @doubledaybooks.bsky.social. Here are just a few of the early reviews. Tour dates start TONIGHT in Seattle. @brucespringsteen.net

Jamie, it’s time for bed. Tomorrow’s a school day.

They love to invent richly illustrated phony stories about bruce. There were two that showed up a month or so ago which featured phony photos of B cradling sobbing people to his chest. One was his daughter, supposedly upset about Patti’s illness, the other was Bob Dylan who was just sad, I guess?

Gay friends! Especially you guys: looking for a romantic, orientation-specific love song for your wedding or just for date night? Here's Bob Dylan's performance of "She's Funny That Way," revised to "He's Funny That Way." It's lovely! (and so are you!) open.spotify.com/track/2o8d8E...

Two weeks til TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND. Pre-order now and you'll get yours on pub day! (I'm pretty sure) @brucespringsteen.net @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

Did you JUST have Covid? I hope it wasn't too bad. I had another run through the Covid spin cycle in May, but it was a shadow of the version that knocked me for a loop in the fall of '23.

You saw Mike’s BBs and got Covid out of the deal? The jokes write themselves. (Tho Mike would sue to claim co-authorship)

TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND rolls into town in 2.5 weeks and the critics have already spoken! (Some of them, anyway) @brucespringsteen.net @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

I am vibrating with glee.

Bless you. 🏆🔥❤️

Interested in @brucespringsteen.net and BORN TO RUN? My new book TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND is coming Aug 5 and the book tour starts that same day! Here are dates on the west and east coasts!

I’ll never forget it. Leno was trying to run one of those dumb five questions bits and when he asked Kimmel if he’d ever bought anything thru a tv ad he said, “Have you ever ordered anything off tv?” And Kimmel fired back: “Like you ordered Conan off tv?” Leno’s face went slack. It was fantastic.

How can a person be both a socialist and an anarchist? Isn't that like calling someone an uptight libertine?

Ah. Okay. Thanks for the clarification!

National health tho. And also those classy accents.
