Springsteen's new cd 'Magic', A Bigger Bang Tour, Phil Spector hearing, David Bowie

So have you heard the new cd from Bruce Springsteen called 'Magic'? I've checked it out a few times now. I'll give it a 3 out of 5 stars. Currently Rascal Flatts holds the number 1 slot on Billboard's Album charts, but Springsteen will take that position next week. 'Magic' has sold 89,000 units in it's first 2 days of release. Matchbox 20's 'Exile On Mainstream' should also hit the top 5.

The Rolling Stones 'A Bigger Bang' tour is the most lucrative tour ever. After 144 shows attended by 4,680,000 folks the tour grossed $558,255,524. One of those folks was me. In second place is U2's 'Vertigo' tour, which made $389 million, third is the Stones 1994-95 'Voodoo Lounge' tour.

In a hearing today in Los Angeles the district attorney's office confirmed that they will retry 67 year old Phil Spector for the murder of Lana Clarkson February 3, 2003. Spector's lawyer announced that Spector will hire a new defense team.

Bowie may be pleased to hear that his last 5 cd's will be released in a box set November 27th. Each of those discs will include a bonus disc containing rare tracks.
