Still riding the train
Continue reading...Monahan's crisp vocals prevail as he powerfully sings "Someday." With a simple beat and accompanying choir voices, this song feels like a gospel praise song full of hope. Monahan sings, "Someday we'll be together / One day you'll be back in my arms again." And for a little trivia, Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora adds acoustic guitar to this song, making it even more memorable.

Bruce Gets the Stars to the Garden
Bruce Gets the Stars to the GardenBruce Springsteen’s opening show at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night sure brought out the stars. Bono showed up, but chose to hang backstage. Ethan Hawke was spotted in the audience, as were Broadway’s Patti Lupone, ABC News’ Elizabeth Vargas and Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner was so enthralled by Bruce he brought his wife, Jane. (Yes. They are still husband and wife despite, well, a lot.)
Before the show began, Little Steven van Zandt, Springsteen’s musical leader and guitarist, held a reception backstage for his Sirius Radio show, “The Underground Garage.” Fellow "Sopranos" James Gandolfini and Jerry Adler made the scene, and took pics with Little Steven.
(Our kudos and thanks to Steven: he convinced Bruce to play “Thundercrack,” a 1974 rarity, as one of the night’s encores. This was a thrill for my friend Vicki Fischer, who actually saw Bruce play the song at Max’s Kansas City back in the day.)
Springsteen’s show — sold out, natch — was a jubilant recreation of old hits and new ones from his top selling “Magic” album.
“Magic,” by the way, would seem the obvious choice for Album of the Year at the next Grammys. Songs from “Magic” like the title track, "Devil’s Arcade," "Last to Die" and "Living in the Future" fit very well into the live Springsteen show. The audience actually sang along to a new song, “The Girls in Their Summer Clothes.” Later, Bono was overheard telling Springsteen manager Jon Landau that that was the album’s hit.
But Bruce didn’t disappoint with older songs, too. From “The Rising,” he played the title track and sang “Lonesome Day.” Among the classic classics, “Born to Run,” “Badlands,” “Promised Land” and “Backstreets” were outstanding.
Springsteen threw in “Brilliant Disguise” for the first time on this tour, too, and it became a lovely duet for him and band member/wife Patti Scialfa. He got a carnival effect on “Darlington County” — featuring Soozie Tyrell and Clarence Clemons. “Dancing in the Dark” proved a perfect ending, followed by the Irish jig, “American Land.”
Springsteen remains a marvel. First of all, at 58, he rocks like there’s no tomorrow. He’s incredibly fit and focused. Second, while the show is about dancing and rocking out, it’s also all about politics. Before he sang “Livin’ in the Future,” he reiterated his feelings about the change in the habeas corpus law and in civil rights. He openly supports the New York City Coalition for the Homeless, too.
But mostly, he and the E Street Band are homeboys. I couldn’t help thinking during the show last night: Do they get this in other places? I’ve never seen Springsteen play outside the New York area. It’s hard to imagine other cities appreciating him; he is such a creature of this little metropolis. Just hearing a little of Clarence play his horn — that’s a comforting sound. That and hearing Bruce count off each song, “Ah, one, two, three, four!”
Springsteen finishes his Garden gig Thursday night, but don’t worry. I’m told a whole new leg of the tour is about to be announced, with many more dates coming next year in New York and everywhere. Of course, that would make sense once “Magic” is crowned Album of the Year.

Richie makes a hash of it
What has rehab done to Richie Sambora?
The 80s rocker only had to remember two lines during an appearance on Saturday Night Live - and he forgot one of them. The audience collapsed in fits of giggles as the guitarist stood in the spotlight during an awkward silence. Luckily his frontman Jon Bon Jovi was there to help him out, and reminded him what he needed to say. Richie's gaff came as his band appeared on the live US show, with lead singer Jon acting as host. The pair took part in a sketch at the beginning of the show, with Richie standing up in the audience to challenge Jon when he pretended the band would not be performing that night. "Don't we have a new album?" the guitarist asked on cue. But as Jon replied, "yes" his sidekick froze, unable to remember what came next. "Do I ever consider your feelings?" the singer prompted, as the audience laughed out loud. "Do you ever consider my feelings?" Richie asked, as the crowd cheered. The SNL performance was the first time the guitarist has performed on stage with his band since his stint in rehab in Utah. Luckily his skills on the guitar were up to scratch - not like his acting.

REHAB ROMANCE?
October 7, 2007 -- SHE'S a troubled movie star, he's an over-the-top rocker, and they're hanging out in rehab together. Lindsay Lohan and Richie Sambora have been spotted chewing the fat at Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah, where they're both being treated for substance abuse. Who knows if any sparks have fired between them, but both are well-known for their voracious romantic appetites. They were all smiles as they chatted away outside the facility the other day.
