PURELY COINCIDENTAL

So the day after I posted my comments on Springsteen, Meat Loaf and Styx (see below), I got an email from the producers of Soundcheck, a radio show I've been on twice before - once to plug Marooned (and hey, check out that bargain price! Go get yourself one, why doncha?) with the help of Greg Tate and Ian Christe, and once to debate the merits of Metallica with Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork. They've asked me to return, this time to take the anti- side in a debate on the merits of...yes, Bruce Springsteen, whose new album comes out on Tuesday, the same day I'll be on the air. So check it out at 2PM EST, at 93.9 FM or 820 AM if you're in the NYC area, or online at WNYC.org. I hope it'll be at least mildly entertaining.
