There's a chance 2020 might be taking a turn for the better, with Bruce Springsteen and the Struts both putting new records out. The new Struts song, Strange Days, is as bouncy and energetic as their stuff generally is, and Springsteen's new one is lively too, though not without reflection. There seems to be a subtext about ageing in this new album, and the bits of film that accompany this new song, Ghosts, and last week's new one, Letter To You, show a band who have grown old together, and are comfortable with that. I like it.
Possible antidote to 2020 beneath the cut.
Luke of the Struts continues to give off a Freddie vibe. I have no idea if he's a fan, but the costumes, and the attitude, and even the way he sits at a piano, all remind me faintly. Like Springsteen's ghosts. (With added mascara.)

I'm not sure how much I'd call myself a Springsteen fan, actually. I think he's written some of the finest lyrics ever, but his solo stuff can be miserable as hell! When he writes for the E Steet Band though, it can be truly awesome. And live! There really is no beating them live.

Nice 60's club footage and big leaps from Bruce in the 'Ghosts' vid.
