Live Nation Inc. and Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. announced plans to merge Tuesday, combining the nation's biggest concert promoter with the largest seller of tickets for live entertainment.
Yes, it's a limited sample. Yes, it's more likely for people who are disgruntled to comment than people who are pleased.
A possible merger between the two of the largest companies in the concert business has raised protests from singer Bruce Springsteen and prompted a congressman to call for a federal anti-trust investigation.
Nothing beats covering the Super Bowl. For me, that didn't mean watching from a seat in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium. I took it all in from my personal ottoman empire -- 10.5 hours spent on a comfortable couch with an oversized hassock at the ready. NBC game producer Fred Gaudelli said his worst nightmare in planning the telecast of Super Bowl XLIII would be to have a blowout -- of course, that didn't happen. The see-saw fourth quarter was the cap on a wonderful day of viewing, one that should give NBC both ratings and critical success.
After 34 years of invitations, the "Boss" finally said yes to the National Football League.
I have friends, close friends, who are having a hard time with this, really struggling with it. They don't understand why Bruce Springsteen is playing halftime of the Super Bowl. One friend calls it "a soul-crushing betrayal." Another calls it "the ultimate sellout." It should be added that these friends are all football fans as well as Bruce Springsteen fans -- well, aren't all football fans Springsteen fans? They simply aren't feeling it.

Here's an underrated great part of my job: The mail. Every week, more or less, I will get two or three great things in the mail. Often it will be a fun book -- like I got this terrific book the other day called, Odd Man Out, by (apparently) a brilliant reader of this site named Matt McCarthy. Matt is now an intern at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, but the book is about the 15 games he pitched in the minor leagues in 2002, and how they altered his life. That's a hard kind of book to write ... I've read quite a few failures on that front. But this one is outstanding.

To paraphrase Jon Landau, the Rolling Stone critic who wrote one of the first ever raves for Bruce Springsteen, I have seen NASCAR's future, and it's name is Joey Logano. Granted, the 18-year-old Logano didn't quite tear up New Hampshire Motor Speedway last Sunday the way the 25-year-old Springsteen did at the Harvard Square Theatre in Cambridge on May 9, 1974, but he made an auspicious debut nonetheless. Driving the No. 96 Toyota for Hall of Fame Racing, Logano excelled just by making it from the green flag to the checkered -- a result that eluded such Cup studs as Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson in their debuts.

"Have a little faith/There's magic in the night," Bruce Springsteen sang on 1975's "Thunder Road." And for keeping the faith along the decades of back roads and stylistic detours, fans get their beautiful reward with "Magic," his best record since "The River" in 1980.

Forty-five minutes into the first presidential debate, Bruce Springsteen wandered into the craft services room of the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia where two dozen roadies and a few members of his E Street Band were silently gathered around a TV. "How we doin'?," he asked, pointing to the screen. There was no response. Next he tried a few inquisitive gestures. Thumbs up? Way up? Down? No one shifted his or her gaze. Finally, smiling wryly in recognition of his relative unimportance, Springsteen pulled up a chair and watched with the others.
