Last Night I Saw Rock And Roll Future And Its Name Is Still Bruce Springsteen
Happened to be in Nashville last night. And Springsteen happened to be in town playing at Bridgestone Arena. Scored a nose-bleed ticket at the last minute for $12.50. Pretty sure it's the best $12.50 I've ever spent. Great show.

PSH
Cameron Crowe, writer and director of my favorite movie of all time Almost Famous, posted a poignant vignette of Philip Seymour Hoffman today. It reads:
"My original take on this scene was a loud, late night pronouncement from Lester Bangs. A call to arms. In Phil’s hands it became something different. A scene about quiet truths shared between two guys, both at the crossroads, both hurting, and both up too late. It became the soul of the movie. In between takes, Hoffman spoke to no one. He listened only to his headset, only to the words of Lester himself. (His Walkman was filled with rare Lester interviews.) When the scene was over, I realized that Hoffman had pulled off a magic trick. He’d leapt over the words and the script, and gone hunting for the soul and compassion of the private Lester, the one only a few of us had ever met. Suddenly the portrait was complete. The crew and I will always be grateful for that front row seat to his genius."
