Remembering Tim Russert
At yesterdays televised memorial service for Tim Russert, Luke’s "Uncle Tony" (Russert’s brother-in-law) performed a beautiful acoustic "Born to Run" in tribute. How do you follow that?

Trapped
I’m quite excited to see Springsteen has added ‘Trapped’, ‘Fire’ and ‘Murder Incorporated’ to his 2008 set list. Although, I know its pot luck when I see him in Cardiff on the 14th June.
If you haven’t heard Trapped its well worth listening too!

Springsteen – Fire
Here is a song called Fire which Springsteen originally wrote for his idol Elvis Presley – he sent him a demo of the track in 1977, but Elvis died before he could record it. It was eventually a Number 2 US hit for the Pointer Sisters, in 1978.
Excellent Stuff!
