Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio, April 21, 2024
As he led the E Street Band through “Twist and Shout,” Bruce Springsteen betrayed a roached voice much as John Lennon had when the Beatles cut their version 60 years earlier.
But, like Lennon’s, Springsteen’s voice benefitted from its battered state - conveying joy and conviction, not exhaustion.
The house lights were on and the heart-stoppin’, pants-droppin’, hard-rockin’, Earth-quakin’, booty-shakin’, love-makin’, Viagra-takin’, history-makin’ - legendary - E Street Band had already been on stage for three hours April 21 as it played its twice-postponed-in-2023 gig inside Columbus, Ohio’s, Nationwide Arena to close the U.S. leg of its 2024 spring tour. Springsteen, who at 74 retains the energy and voice - acrobatic with guttural growls and falsetto cries - of a much-younger man, was sweat-soaked, his tie tucked into his blue shirt, his vest now removed, returned alone to close the show with an acoustic version of “I’ll See You in My Dreams.”
Death is not the end, he sang, while proving the life-affirming nature of live music.
Though the band could’ve phoned it in, the expanded 18-piece - augmented with four-voice choir and five-piece horn section - instead brought a loud hailer, opening the 30-song, 185-minute set with a grimy version of “Youngstown,” the first of a handful of tour debuts that included “Streets of Fire” and “I’m Goin’ Down.” That some songs were slowed by a quarter-step seems to have been the only acknowledgement of age.
So, if these guys are actually taking Viagra, it isn’t because of on-stage impotence. The band is so hot that even relatively weak songs like “Bobby Jean” and “Dancing in the Dark” are splendid in the moment.
A few scattered empty seats did nothing to temper the raucous atmosphere inside the hockey arena. Fans hoisted signs - “I’m Mary, thanks for all the songs” was among the best - and Springsteen sung a line of “Thunder Road” to a woman who’d been dancing furiously in front of the stage all evening, causing her to light up like a strobe. Though there was no crowd surfing during “Hungry Heart” - dude is 74, remember - Springsteen did go into the audience during “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” as images of late E Streeters Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici shone on the house video screens.
Back on stage, the living celebrated being alive. Steven Van Zandt played a guitar emblazoned with the Ukraine flag during “No Surrender.” Fellow guitarist Nils Lofgren spun like the Tasmanian Devil as he unspooled his “Because the Night” solo. And Jake Clemons served as Springsteen’s saxophone-blowing foil and conjured Uncle Clarence’s spirit throughout the night, thus garnering some of the crowd’s loudest adulation.
One of those moments came during a religious-experience rendering of “Spirit in the Night,” when Clemons sat on the stage and Springsteen literally leaned on his bandmate. The music temporally settled before exploding like a supernova and the climax. This was the greatest E Street moment Sound Bites has witnessed since the Band reunited for the 1995 Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“Last Man Standing,” with Springsteen on acoustic accompanied by trombone, was a nod to his earliest bandmates, all gone now. “Trapped” was a singalong on the choruses. “She’s the One” borrowed the Bo Diddley beat. “Wrecking Ball” transformed the arena into the charismatic church of E Street. “Rosalita (Come out Tonight)” found the group mugging and celebrating with the faithful on a small chunk of stage that jutted into the general-admission pit. And the vaunted “Detroit Medley” once again demonstrated that if you have rock ’n’ roll in your life, your life has the potential to be heaven at any given moment.

🎧Pandora Playlist🎵
Koutarou Bokuto - It Won't Stop [Sevyn Streeter fr. Chris Brown]
Taglist: @starboybokuto
-------🎵------
I love when you pulling up in your Jeep
Bumping all your beats
J's on, with your shades on
Just to bring me something to eat
You the man up in these streets
But when it comes to my heart
That don't mean a thing, no
--------
You set your phone down on the bed after texting your boyfriend Bokuto. He was leaving from volleyball practice so you told him to drive safely and call you when he makes it home.
Homework finished, chores done, shower taken, and pajamas on, you were ready to watch a show and relax for the evening.
-
About thirty minutes into the episode, your phone dinged with a text:
Bo🤩❤: Come outside, pretty girl😘😋
You couldn't help but smile down at the phone. Hopping off your bed, you slipped on your slides and pulled one of Bo's hoodies over your short pajama set.
Quietly tiptoeing through the house to not alert anyone, you grabbed your house key off of the table and slipped out the door.
Bokuto's smoke grey Jeep was parked on the side of your house, underneath the large tree in the yard.
When you opened the door and climbed in, the smell of your favorite food flew up your nostrils.
"Hey, baby." Bokuto sat on the driver's side looking like an entire meal himself; he had on his white volleyball jacket, a plain black t-shirt, and grey sweats. You didn't know if your mouth was watering because of him or the food.
You leaned over and gave him a soft peck on the lips. "Hey Bo, thanks for bringing me food."
"No problem, baby. I missed you today." His large hand settled on your warm thigh underneath the hoodie.
"I missed you too. So much."
-
Baby hop in my ride
Ooh it's hot as hell outside
Got the top down, with the doors closed
With my hand upon your thigh
Drive slow
Take your time
-
As you ate, Bokuto stole bits of your food, throwing fries up and catching them with his mouth while you clapped and giggled.
With the trash tied up neatly and tossed in the backseat, Bo reclined his seat back and pulled you into his lap.
His warm lips attached to your neck, giving it harsh sucks before flicking his tongue over the heated flesh.
"B-Bo..mmm.."
Strong hands gripped your ass in those too small shorts, kneading the flesh and giving it small slaps.
"Hmm, my baby missed me huh? Such a sweet girl…"
His words had you blushing, but more so the bulge that rubbed against you in those damn sweats.
Koutarou Bokuto was the man of your dreams. He was silly, hardworking, determined, caring, and loving. He could always put a smile on your face, even when he wasn't trying; he had just that big of an effect on you.
When he pulled away from your neck and started kissing your cheeks, chin, eyelids, and nose, you melted.
Your small hands came up and caressed his cheeks, directing them towards you so you could finally kiss his lips.
-
Every little thing you do
Got me feeling some type of way
When you give me that thunder
You make my summer rain
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Everyday, everyday
And it won't stop
Boom, boom, boo-ooom
And it won't stop
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Booo-oom
-
Bokuto slowly pulled away from your lips and looked into your sparkling, e/c eyes. He felt his heart swell with all of the emotions that he could see swimming in those beautiful gems of yours.
"I love you so much, you know that right? You make me a better man…"
"Oh, Bo, but you're already the most amazing man that I know..I love you too." You kissed his jaw, now taking your turn to bite at his neck and collarbone. His deep, throaty moans threw you mind into a haze.
"If you keep talking like that I won't be able to stop myself from taking you inside and having my way with you, sweet girl." He growled into your ear. Your pussy clenched up just at the thought.
With slim, feminine fingers and manicured nails, you slipped your hand underneath his shirt and rubbed his toned stomach. He groaned at your teasing, knowing that you were avoiding his dick on purpose.
"Y/n.." You laughed.
"Okay, okay. Really though, I appreciate you for thinking of me even though I know you're tired after practice. That was really sweet, Bo. You make my heart so full."
That was all he needed. Confirmation of your love, your appreciation. Knowing that the little things that he did mattered. He could have cried.
Grabbing your smaller hands in his, he brought them up to his lips and kissed them.
"Anything in the world for you, princess."
-
With every single part of me
My love for you is constantly
Forever and ever on repeat, on repeat
And it won't stop

A comprehensive study of how college football coaches dress
Here’s a head-to-toe catalog of what the guys on the sidelines wear.
Remember when you were starting a dynasty in the old NCAA Football video game, and EA Sports would prompt you to outfit your coach with hopelessly limited options?
youtube
Football coaches aren’t the most aesthetically gifted humans. While they get to wear whatever apparel is provided, they aren’t winning any awards for best dressed. Part of that’s just that they’re filtering out as much as they can that isn’t football.
But spring has sprung and a new season of fashion is upon us, so why not get a look at how the men who run the sport outfit themselves? Let’s start from the top down.
The hat
The headwear conversation starts with Bear Bryant, whose houndstooth lid is so distinct, they put it on his statue outside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
The most iconic visor in the game is the calling card of Steve Spurrier.
Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Spurrier’s visor is so influential that it’s inspired others, like current Florida coach Dan Mullen, to follow in his stead. Former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze sported the visor as well, and through it, developed a kinship with Spurrier.
But the more common headwear is the baseball cap. Even that can be made iconic, however. See: Miles, Leslie Edwin.
Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
And they serve a functional purpose for the more follically challenged among us — sorry, 2014 Jimbo Fisher.
There are variations. Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables goes with a bright neon hat so his defense can see him on the sideline. (More on this later.)
Photo by Tyler Smith/Getty Images
When college football honors The Troops, Syracuse’s Dino Babers (a military brat himself) rolls with the digital camo.
Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images
Whatever you want to call it (straw/beachcomber/safari), the wide-brimmed member of the cowboy family is good for shade. Nick Saban wears one during practice.
“This isn’t the end, this is just the beginning” - Coach Nick Saban after 2009 National Champ.
Here it is, YEAR 12#RollTide#OutworkYesterday pic.twitter.com/oA9Avn652I

When you win a game in Texas, it’s time to don a trophy. Here’s Mike Gundy after winning a Texas Bowl.

And who can forget Charlie Strong?
Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports
The headset
The tech has come a long way from this version in the ‘80s, sported by Bo Schembechler, to the overtly branded ones we have today.
Todd Graham’s Britney Spears derivative was an evolution, as were his colored wristbands.
Coaches like Brady Hoke have come full circle. At Michigan, he wouldn’t wear one so that he could coach the kids up ...
Photo by David Banks/Getty Images
... but that tune changed when he got the interim job at Tennessee. Hooray for product placement!
Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images
The outerwear
There are two variations of hoodies: Belichick and non-. Who exactly cuts the sleeves for Belichick? And why does he like this look?
Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images
Like normal people just trying to be warm and comfortable, Mike Riley keeps the sleeves, as God intended.
Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports
Never forget Mark Mangino’s letterman jacket.

And when it rains, the outerwear comes into play. Here’s Dabo Swinney trying to stay dry.
Photo by Tyler Smith/Getty Images
Adjacent is the windbreaker. Bill Snyder’s is the most curious. After his Wildcats won the Cotton Bowl, he wore a Cotton Bowl windbreaker for the following two seasons. When the Wildcats made the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, he switched. But the Big 12 forced him to ditch bowl windbreakers, because he was rocking swag from games the conference had disaffiliated with.
The shacket
There probably isn’t another article that’s as unique in a coach’s closet as the shacket. Is it a shirt or is it a jacket? This is the chicken/egg debate that keeps me up at night.
Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
Former Auburn head man Gene Chizik was at the vanguard of shacket chic, and he didn’t even realize it.
He smiles and laughs as the first photos pops up — the “shacket” — which was a term he was apparently unaware of. When we introduced the term to him, he deadpanned to the camera as if he was Jim Halpert.
”So what I had my equipment guy do is, I told him that I don’t like short short-sleeves. So we would get whatever Under Armour sent us and we’d cut the sleeves off of it, we’d hem ‘em,” Chizik said. Similar to Belichick’s signature look, this seems to be a more weather-versatile approach to a cutoff sweatshirt.
”Dana, our equipment guy who’s still at Auburn, would actually custom make all of my game day tops so that they would fit me the way I wanted them to fit.” Chizik liked for the sleeve of the jacket to come down right above the elbow.
Jim McElwain and Bret Bielema rocked versions in 2017.
There’s even a long-sleeved derivative, displayed here by Tom Herman.
Photo by Ron Jenkins/Getty Images
The suit
Not just for media days and TV appearances.
Step into the Saban spring catalogue. On A-Day in Tuscaloosa, you can spot him dressed to the nines.
The Grandfather of South Florida football preeminence, Howard Schnellenberger, stands in a class of his own on the sidelines.

P.J. Fleck goes for a more contemporary shirt-and-tie look (plus shacket), a nod to the men who influenced him.
Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images
One is Mike Nolan, who coached Fleck in San Francisco.
Photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images
The sweater vest
Fleck’s other mentor is Jim Tressel. Few coaches are as synonymous with a piece of clothing.

Gus Malzahn has been known to don vests, with some performing better than others.

Same deal with Gary Patterson, if he’s not wearing the long-sleeve version of the most common option.

And Patterson’s clothing choice is known to have a bearing on on-field performance. In the 2016 Alamo Bowl, Patterson started the game in black, then switched at halftime. The results speak for themselves.
The polo
As promised, here’s Patterson in a long-sleeved polo. He’s in black here, but briefly swore off the color after that Alamo Bowl.
Photo by Ron Jenkins/Getty Images
These days, polos are cookie-cutter. Almost every coach wears them at various points in the year. Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour debut slightly updated versions of their coaches polos in the offseason, and then they’re sported by the coaches all season. You can have one yourself for like $80.
But they do serve a functional purpose. Check out the guys behind Urban Meyer here:
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports
Those are assistants who signal plays in. To make it easier for the Buckeyes on the field to pick out signals, these coaches are wearing colors that pop in a sea of scarlet.

The pants
We’ve arrived at the legs, so thank goodness I have an excuse to use this photo of former Georgia coach Jim Donnan:
Sure, he’s in shorts, but just feast your eyes on this magnificent Hawaiian shirt he sported when the Dawgs played in the 2000 Oahu Bowl. (Some coaches of Pacific Island descent wear island accents to their coaching uniforms that are much less forced. Navy’s Ken Niumatalolo is famous for his lei.)
Besides that, you won’t see shorts in-game too often. Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald is an exception.
Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
You will almost always see a coach wearing long khakis (obligatory Harbaugh reference). But now that Derek Dooley’s at Missouri, he can dye his pants yellow and give us a redux of his Volunteer orange slacks:
Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images
Check out these puppies on Lou Holtz ...
... and Tom Osborne.
And Temple’s Geoff Collins with the capris-style:
I think Geoff Collins and the tower girl traded pants before the kickoff tonight. Where’s the flood at? pic.twitter.com/73xKMS5ah2
— LitiGATOR (@BullGator09) September 20, 2018
The point of contention is pleats. Many a head man has shackled himself to this style. Paul Johnson exhibits the look here, as if wearing Russell Athletic isn’t bad enough.
Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images
Jeff Monken and others give me hope that sensibilities are changing and flat-front is en vogue.
Ray Carlin-USA TODAY Sports
The shoes
It’s mostly the stock athletic shoe provided by the school.
Some coaches take that to the extreme, like Mullen. At Mississippi State, an Adidas school, he leaned heavy into the Yeezy wave.
Dan Mullen's shoe and sock game at #SECMD17 #HailState #SEC
A post shared by Edward Aschoff (@ecaschoff) on Jul 11, 2017 at 4:34pm PDT
Now he’s at Florida, a Jordan Brand school soon. His feet remain a tool to appeal to The Youths on the recruiting trail.
Great having Gators come back home. @ErinAndrews back in the swamp today. pic.twitter.com/O79mSS687x
— Dan Mullen (@CoachDanMullen) April 20, 2018
Coaches who don’t go sneakers can pull a Harbaugh and wear cleats.
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
Sideline swagger is an overlooked subculture of the coaching profession.
But even on Saturday afternoon, clothes still make the man.
