04/12/2007 Springsteen 1 Arsenal 0
Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning for a couple of English gigs on Bruce Springsteen’s May 2008 Euro tour. The London gig, at the Emirates stadium, new home of Arsenal, the Francophone African football franchise, was briefly tempting: I’ve a high regard for Bruce’s best work, notably Darkness and The Rising, and I’ve long wanted to catch him live. Briefly? I was tempted for all of a minute – before reality kicked in. Do I really want to spend a summer evening driving (very slowly) to the toilet known as inner North London to spend a couple of hours at a massed karaoke, surrounded by middle-aged beer-bellied drunks (and their boyfriends/partners/husbands), wearing dribble-stained black T-shirts, scruffy jeans and smelly trainers? And pay well over £100 for two for the privilege? Probably not: a stroll in the local blueball-carpeted beechwood seems infinitely more attractive. Stadium rock – by anyone – just ain’t music for grown-ups. Gerry Smith
