Vielen Dank für den Jahresrückblick, Jörg! Traurige Tradition, aber unverzichtbar im Dezember.
Zu Shane MacGowan, Springsteen’s Nachruf fand ich am schönsten:
Over here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Shane MacGowan. Shane was one of my all-time favorite writers. The passion and deep intensity of his music and lyrics is unmatched by all but the very best in the rock and roll canon. I was fortunate to spend a little time with Shane and his lovely wife Victoria the last time we were in Dublin. He was very ill, but still beautifully present in his heart and spirit. His music is timeless and eternal. I don’t know about the rest of us, but they’ll be singing Shane’s songs 100 years from now.
Bruce Springsteen
