The Alphabet Back Catalogue Challenge: My Springsteen A-Z
Just when I thought that this is the year we would all get back to enjoying live music, two concerts I was looking forward to have been cancelled within the same week!
So to cheer myself up, I thought I would write another article on Springsteen. This one has been inspired yet again by Paul Combs and Pierce McIntyre.
Paul Combs writes so many fantastic articles on Springsteen and like myself and Alex Markham who also pens fabulous Boss writings, we yearn for a Springsteen tour. We are therefore inspired to keep writing about the man in the hope that we are getting close to the promised land of a tour. Pierce McIntyre wrote a great article here about songs with May in the title. This got me thinking. I challenged myself to not only list a Springsteen song from A-Z but to nominate my pick for each letter of the alphabet.
My rules were:-

- I can only choose one song per letter.
