my wife was talking about going to see some springsteen cover band the day before thanksgiving. I haven't been out in quite a few years on what used to be the best going out day of the year in my youth so I was ok with it. She told me it was some popular group named Tributasaurus. Now she really has my interest. It's at theater on the lake which is a bitch of a venue because there is zero parking. I'll tell him you all said hi

playing covers can be very lucrative. I'm friends with some of the guys from High Infidelity, and that band makes a ton of money for only playing weekends and essentially playing the same show over and over....

I assume Tributasaurus makes some decent money. I don't think they can quit their day jobs but it may pay the mortgage. Spiegs has gotten three wives out of it so they must be big enough to have groupies.

The show was good and I had a great time. Lot's of random old friends there. I pre gamed drinking a couple of heavy pour old fashioneds then went over to the Theater early so I could grab a table. Speigs was in a corner devouring a hamburger. Jokes aside, he looked pretty svelte. Maybe he hides it or my eyes are going. I also was drinking fairly heavily. The middle aged housewives were all titillated being brought back to the glory days for a couple of hours. Too many divorcees coming up to me and telling me their stories, as if I was ever a sympathetic listener to those tales of woe. I got my own problems, sister!

I followed it up with the Bodeans at City Winery for the late show Saturday. I'm a fan from way back but it's tough to see the band playing for 350 when I first saw them open for U2 at Allstate. I like the venue but that is far too genteel for rock and roll. I don't drink wine but I had a glass just because...did not like the high compared to beer.

anyway, my musical tastes suck but I had fun, so piss off. I did get my wife Dropkick Murphys tickets for christmas when they play here near St. Patrick's Day. Little harder edge. I'm more out for a night of drinking than anything when I go to a show these days.

On a 1-10 how did Spiegz sound imitate Bruce?

_________________

He sounded like a guy singing Bruce songs but not necessarily going for the imitation. The horn section was the best part of the show. Spiegs takes a lot of breaks and lets others handle vocals.

Did he sing the Feldco jingle?

I don't even remember. They played a bit of "their stuff" as an intermezzo and cleared the room

also, they didn't play Born In The USA. You'd think that would be a must play for a group playing before drunken middle agers looking to sing along

Every time I see those commercials, I get curious how much money he's made on that over the years.

Do you think he gets residuals or it was just a one-time payment for the recording? I don't know how that works.

Miss a little miss a lot. Didn't know those were his vocals.

He has said before that he got a one time payment under $2k

That's a steal. I can't even remember how far back that goes.

i think Spiegs got like $250 for that feldco jingle. IIRC

His singing annoys me. He annoys me.

Spiegel is the voice (or one of the voices) on the Feldco song?

The only version of "Born in the USA" worth playing is the bluesy, solo-acoustic version that was meant to go on Nebraska. The stadium-rock version sucks.

$500, one time payment for that jingle.
