Marty’s photos of the day #4483-4489: People often wonder how I can be happy as a liberal in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, where roughly 60 percent of the people are hardcore Trumpers. Well, when Deb and I moved here in 1996, we did so because of nature, not politics. And yesterday was one of those days […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4346-#4351: One last time: Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ! Yesterday afternoon, I drove back to Asbury Park, so I could see it in the daytime. The fog was starting to burn off, and with it being the off-season, the crowds had yet to arrive. Bruce Springsteen’s songs got me through […]
Greetings from Colts Neck, New Jersey! Today, I did a driving tour of Bruce Springsteen houses and then headed back to Asbury Park to walk the Boardwalk, looking for Sandy and Madame Marie. I’ll post on the latter tomorrow morning. Bruce Springsteen’s current house (actually a large ranch) is less than five minutes from where […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4339-#4345: Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ! (Again) This time I found a proper sign inside The Stone Pony. If you missed yesterday’s post, my next college show is Monday, at the University of Delaware. With a day-and-a-half off between shows, I’m staying at a hotel in Colts Neck, New Jersey […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4338: Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ! Okay, I’ve wanted to say that ever since I became a Bruce Springsteen fan back in high school. But I’m actually here. Earlier today, I performed Around the World in 90 Minutes a little north of here at the Trailside Nature & Science Center […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4336: Greetings from Paul Smith’s College in Paul Smiths, New York! (Yes, the college uses an apostrophe and the town doesn’t.) I performed Around the World in 90 Minutes at the college in 2008, which was my first full year of performing the show, so it was fun to come […]
Marty’s photos of the day #4118-4120: This week I’m taking a break from wildlife photos to post some of my favorite concert photos. Today’s photos are of . . . “Do I have to say his Name?” On November 28, 2012, Deb and I took our son, Sean, to see Bruce Springsteen at the Rose […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3996: Wow! Having grown up in the music business—first as a disc jockey and then as a talent manager—music has always been an important part of my life. Throughout the years, I’ve seen many great concerts, from Bruce Springsteen to the Rolling Stones to the Pretenders (original band) to Within […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3648: Deb and I just returned to Montana after a week-long trip to Minnesota for Deb’s father’s funeral. Milt Froehlich actually died back in January and caught COVID-19 while in the nursing home. He was too ornery to let COVID kill him, but after he recovered it was just time […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2962: Melissa Etheridge was incredible last night. Deb and I had seen her two years ago at the KettleHouse Amphitheater with Pat Benatar. That was a fine show. However, outdoor multi-headliner shows tend to focus on the greatest hits. Last night, at the Wilma, it was just her and her […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2746: Greetings from Arona, Italy. Last night, in Milan, Deb and I savored Within Temptation in concert. Over the years, I’ve seen the best—from the Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen to Tina Turner to Garbage to Grace Potter—and Within Temptation is right up there with all of them. The concert […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2314: Happy birthday Joan Jett! September 22 and September 23 are memorable days for birthdays. Today is Joan Jett’s birthday, and tomorrow is Deb Essen’s and Bruce Springsteen’s birthday. My wife is a lot younger than Bruce. She’s also younger than Joan, but just how much, we’ll keep a secret. […]
