New subscriptions will begin with the Winter 2011/2012 issue, Backstreets #90
Boss coverage from A to Z: that's Appel to Zimny, this issue featuring extensive Backstreets interviews with each. For our first talk with Mike Appel in 20 years, we asked Born to Run photographer Eric Meola to sit down with Bruce's former manager for a chat. In a wide-ranging discussion of his time with Bruce from the early '70s to their 2009 reunion in Buffalo, Appel describes shows like Sing Sing Prison and the Anne Murray blowout at Central Park along the way.
For our massive interview with Thom Zimny, Backstreets editor Christopher Phillips spent multiple sessions at the filmmaker's NYC studio for an in-depth look at his recent work with Bruce. Part I takes Zimny from "Night with the Jersey Devil" through London Calling: Live at Hyde Park.
In Part II with Zimny, it's The Promise, discussing Zimny's Darkness documentary as well as the Houston and Paramount performance films (and how the latter was influenced by Jean-Claude Van Damme).
Plus: Clarence Clemons, 1942-2011 (our full Big Man tribute to come in issue #91); the Carousel House and other show reports; Bruce and Ed Norton in Toronto; Lisa Lowell; Dropkick Murphys; Springsteen in the comics; rare releases from The Promise; reviews of "fan-based recordings" and Bruce boots, and more. 84 pages, full-color.
