Long time Bruce Springsteen E-street keyboardist Dan Federici lost his 3 year fight with melanoma yesterday, at only 58 years old. It's a big loss for Springsteen and his fans. RIP, Phantom Dan.

I just saw that a little while ago on the local news. RIP Dan

That sucks.  And the keyboard work is a vital chunk of the band's whole sound too. 


It's cheesy, but I still think their "Born to Run" album is amazing.  Listening to that album, knowing that it came from a young struggling rock band in 1976 . . . it really rams home how laughable most of mainstream modern rock bands have become.  Being hip & catchy is a pathetic substitute for being truly creative.

PIP Dan. One of the best bands ever in my opinion....even if Bruce is an Obama backer.

The shows won't be the same...

Peace, Neal
