Fotografías de Springsteen para una causa benéfica
24 abril, 2009
Los mejores fotógrafos se unen para luchar contra el hambre en AméricaHillside, N.J., 23 abril 2009 – “Photographers Against Hunger” ha reunido 14 fotografías de Bruce Springsteen de gran valor. En colaboración con la revista Backstreets, el grupo pretende recaudar fondos para el Community FoodBank de New Jersey, miembro de la asociación Feeding America, ofreciendo catorce fotos -que cubren 3 décadas de la carrera del artista- para una causa benéfica.
Por un donativo de 25 dólares al Community FoodBank de New Jersey, los fans de Springsteen tendrán la oportunidad de entrar en el sorteo de esas 14 fotografías, firmadas por sus autores.
Las imágenes se pueden ver ahora en esta página: www.backstreets.com/hunger.
Los fotógrafos elegidos son los que dieron vida a las portadas y libretos de los discos Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Nebraska, Born in the U.S.A., Tunnel of Love, Lucky Town, The Rising, Devils & Dust y The Seeger Sessions. Es decir: Mary Alfieri, Danny Clinch, Anton Corbijn, Lynn Goldsmith, David Michael Kennedy, Annie Leibovitz, Eric Meola, Neal Preston, Barbara Pyle, David Rose, Pam Springsteen, Frank Stefanko, Albert Watson y Timothy White.
Los donativos se pueden hacer ya, y el 100% de lo recaudado (25 dólares por persona) irá a parar a los bancos de comida. Una vez se llegue a 14.000 donativos, se sortearán las fotos originales firmadas por sus autores y de ahí saldrán los 14 ganadores del concurso, cada uno de los cuales recibirá una de las fotografías.
Entre las fotos están ediciones limitadas en papel ‘palladium’ de una de las fotos que David Michael Kennedy hizo para el álbum Nebraska; una foto de Frank Stefanko usada en la portada de Darkness on the Edge of Town; y una rara foto de Barbara Pyle hecha durante las sesiones de grabación del álbum Born to Run.
“Cada uno de los fotógrafos que ha contribuido a esta causa ha trabajado personalmente con Bruce Springsteen y ha quedado marcado por su generosidad y pasión por ayudar a los demás”, dice el apreciado fotógrafdo Eric Meola, famoso por su foto de portada del álbum Born to Run.
El Community FoodBank de New Jersey—que da ayuda a más de 500.000 residentes en New Jersey- está luchando por mantener la ayuda en momentos de gran demanda social, una situación que, por desgracia, se repite en muchos bancos de comida de todo el país.

‘Photographers Against Hunger’ Donate Signed Prints of Bruce Springsteen
24 abril, 2009World-Renowned Photographers Band Together to Raise Money For – and Awareness About – Hunger in AmericaHillside, N.J., April 23, 2009 – People say a picture is worth a thousand words, but “Photographers Against Hunger” is hoping that fourteen photographs of Bruce Springsteen prove to be even more valuable. In partnership with Backstreets magazine, the group is seeking to raise funds for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, member of Feeding America, by providing fourteen photographs—spanning over three decades of the iconic rocker’s career—for a very special charitable effort. For each $25 donation to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Springsteen fans will have the chance to receive one of the photographs, signed by the photographer. Fans can view the images and enter at www.backstreets.com/hunger.
The photographers have made most, if not all, of the iconic images of Springsteen, including the album covers for Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Nebraska, Born in the U.S.A., Tunnel of Love, Lucky Town, The Rising, Devils & Dust and The Seeger Sessions. The fourteen photographers are: Mary Alfieri, Danny Clinch, Anton Corbijn, Lynn Goldsmith, David Michael Kennedy, Annie Leibovitz, Eric Meola, Neal Preston, Barbara Pyle, David Rose, Pam Springsteen, Frank Stefanko, Albert Watson and Timothy White.
Donations may be made starting on April 23, 2009, and 100 percent of each donation of $25 will go toward supporting the FoodBank’s efforts. Once 14,000 donations have been made, 14 lucky fans will be chosen at random to each receive a print.
Among the unique prints are a limited edition palladium print by David Michael Kennedy which was part of the series he made for Nebraska; a Frank Stefanko print which was used as the jacket sleeve for Darkness on the Edge of Town; and a rare photograph by Barbara Pyle which was made during the Born to Run studio sessions and which few people have ever seen.
“Each of the photographers who contributed to this has personally worked with Bruce Springsteen and has been touched by his generosity and passion for helping others,” said Eric Meola, esteemed photographer, and well-known in the Bruce Springsteen world for the Born to Run album cover. “This project has allowed each of us to follow his lead and ‘pay-it-forward,’ combining a cause that is close to Bruce’s heart with our love of photography; but we also want Bruce’s fans and the readers of Backstreets to realize that they are the most important part of this effort.”
Helping the Hungry
As a result of the recession, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey—which provides food for more than 500,000 New Jersey residents—has been struggling to keep up with increased demand for food. Sadly, this is a situation that is playing out in food banks across the nation.
“The current economic crisis has placed people from all walks of life in difficult financial situations. Families are turning to emergency food providers in record numbers,” said Kathleen DiChiara, founder of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey. “We hope that Bruce Springsteen’s words will once again be a symbol of hope and that these photos will inspire people to give back to their communities in whatever way they can.”
“I credit Bruce with raising my own awareness about the issue of hunger, and he’s always been passionate about giving back to the community; so it’s fitting that the proceeds from these photographs that mark defining moments in his career will help many families in New Jersey who are struggling to redefine their lives,” said Chris Phillips, editor of Backstreets.

April 22: Boston #2 (I Wanna Be Sedated)
23 abril, 200927 songs, nearly 3 hours, special guests and three tour premieres: “I Wanna Be Sedated”, the great Ramones punk-rock song, by popular request; “For You”, and “So Young and In Love” (video), back since its last performance in Belgium last year. Plus a perfect “Jungleland” (in lieu of “The Wrestler”), “She’s the One”, and a long set of encores which ended with “Seven Nights to Rock”.
During encore time Tim Brennan (from Boston’s Dropkick Murphys) came up to play on “So Young and In Love”, and was later joined by another two members of the Murphys on “American Land”. It was a great night for Jay Weinberg too, who got to play on the last 4 songs of the main set, plus “American Land” and “Glory Days” in the encores. A great show for a great crowd, which Bruce acknowledged by saying goodbye with these words: “You guys never disappoint. You still stoke the fire in our belly when we get here”.

22 abril: Boston #2 (I Wanna Be Sedated)
23 abril, 200927 canciones, 3 horas, invitados especiales y 3 estrenos. A saber: “I Wanna Be Sedated”, temazo punk-rock de los Ramones, a petición popular, “For You”, una joya de su primer álbum (después de interpretar otra: “Spirit in the Night”), y “So Young and In Love” (vídeo), jovial descarte de las sesiones del Darkness publicado en Tracks. Además de una perfecta versión de “Jungleland” (en lugar de “The Wrestler”), “She’s the One” casi al inicio del concierto, y una larguísima ristra de bises culminada con “Seven Nights to Rock”.
Fue durante los bises cuando subio Tim Brennan (del grupo bostoniano Dropkick Murphys) para tocar “So Young and In Love”. Antes de eso, momento surrealista: Tim aprovecha para pedir en público la mano de su prometida, la cual contesta que sí (gracias al micro que le presta Nils). Más adelante otros dos miembros de los Murphys suben al escenario durante “American Land”. La noche fue redonda para Jay Weinberg, pues además de tocar en las cuatro últimas canciones del set, también bateó, y con fuerza, en “American Land” y “Glory Days”. Bruce se despidió del siempre entusiasta público de Boston con estas palabra: “Nunca nos decepcionais”.

April 21: Boston
22 abril, 2009
The first of two shows in Boss-ton featured the tour debut of the great ZZ Top tune “I’m Bad I’m Nationwide” (see the video at bs.net now), a song Bruce performed in clubs and various shows with the E Street Band in 1984 and 1987. Patti is still absent, though this time due to a small horse-riding accident which Bruce explained: “She wasn’t riding with Madonna—it wasn’t a Madonna-like spill”.
The 2-hour and 45-minute show shared some songs with the recent L.A. shows: “Adam Raised a Cain”, “Growin’ Up” or “I’m Goin’ Down”, and Bruce kept taking sign requests while the band was playing the intro to “Raise Your Hand”.
The handwritten set list included “Jungleland” (in the “Radio Nowhere” spot) though it was skipped. Once again Jay Weinberg joined the band for the last 4 songs in the main set.
