At the Corner of Thunder Road and Stadium Way

Talk about two great tastes that taste great together.

Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band are coming to Dodger Stadium on Sunday, August 17. Ticket sales begin (and, no doubt, end) Monday.

Did I call this, in a weird way? I doubt they'll play Wreck on the Highway, but in the shadow of lost seasons since 1988, you can bet the Dodger farm on Glory Days.

My Springsteen attendance record is as follows:

  • 1984, Los Angeles Sports Arena
  • 1985, Oakland Coliseum
  • 1988, Shoreline Ampitheater, Mountain View
  • 1995, Wiltern Theater, Los Angeles
  • 1999, Staples Center, Los Angeles
  • 2002, Forum, Inglewood
To see Springsteen at Dodger Stadium would, you can imagine, be about as special for me as if he were to play in my own backyard. (And since I don't have my own backyard, all the better.) Right now, though, I'm pessimistic about it happening. Spending money on concert tickets less than 12 months after having seen The Boss live is just not what I should be doing right now.

Sigh. It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street.
