Heard the Orioles also tried to get Pink but went to Nationals Park instead.Still trying to get her but looks like probably not. So hate Pink? Blue? Yellow?

He lost his all-American vibe right there.

Heard that term a lot in the '60s, meaning a not just a fastball, but a fast fastball, as in "He throws a real speedball." Maybe it's a regional thing. When I first heard the song I thought "speedball" was kind of outdated, but not out otherwise of place.

Just a friendly reminder. Factor this into your opening day travel plans.

Well, this thread was about his concert at Camden Yards in September.

You are talking about his concert at the new arena tomorrow night.

The Eagles will be at the Arena Saturday as well, with the Orioles playing a 7:05 game.   I think that will be just as big a crowd as Bruce.  So those of us going Saturday might also want to consider that there could be additional traffic and scarcer parking in the area.

Aren't they just going to bus most of the fans in from the retirement homes?

He's not exactly in his 20s, is he?  

No, I'm not going.  I can't stand him.  

Is there anyone in their 20s who is any good?  Actually there is -- a kid named Sam Fender -- who people have been calling a young, British Springsteen.

If you're talking young country music singers I'm partial to Tyler Childers.

He's alright, voice is kind of whiny.  But I'm pretty sure all of these guys, including Bruce, fall under the broad singer/songwriter umbrella.

He was just announced to play at the CFG Arena downtown.
