The Buzz

 The Boss is Super!

                                          

We should hope that the NY Giants make it to the Super Bowl again this season.  This is especially true because New Jersey's favorite son - Bruce Springsteen (shown left) will be featured on this season's Super Bowl halftime show.  Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at Super Bowl XLIII, the band's publicists have confirmed.  The Super Bowl and its halftime show (which, fittingly for the man who sang "Born to Run" and "Cadillac Ranch," is being sponsored by Bridgestone Tires) will take place on Feb 1, 2009, at the Raymond Jones Stadium in Tampa, Fla, and is to be broadcast on NBC.  The concert by Mr. Springsteen will be the fifth halftime show since Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the MTV-produced extravaganza in 2004 sent the N.F.L in search of more family-friendly artists, a road to recovery that for some reason included performances by the Rolling Stones and Prince.

Look Out!  It's Dem Wise Guys Again . . . .

Along with playing guitar - and he does that quite well - Precision's lead guitarist and vocalist, Frankie Carr also has personally designed and manufactured fine musical instruments.  One of Frankie's guitar masterpieces  was particularly fitting for his recent visit to Wise Guy Radio Show on Sirius Satellite Radio SIRIUS Satellite Radio - Listen to The Wiseguy Show With Vincent Pastore.  In this case, Frankie brought along his famous "Tommy Gun Guitar" which was a big hit (no pun intended) with the shows hosts, John "Cha-Cha "Ciarcia and Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore.  If you were a fan of the acclaimed long-running HBO program, The Sopranos, you may remember Cha-Cha Ciarcia and Pastore from the cast of this hit series.  As native New Yorkers, Cha-Cha and Vincent Pastore are fans of the Precisions and enjoy their classic Doo Wop sound. Frankie made sure he left any ammunition home so his Tommy Gun Guitar provided safe enjoyment for the show's hosts and guests.  A version of Frankie's Tommy Gun guitar is on display at the Hard Rock Cafe.  However, Precisions fans can see the real thing in person at one of their upcoming live appearances.   This weapon may look fierce some, but it makes sweet music.  Just ask Cha Cha and Big Pussy.

Careful! that weapon may be loaded.  Shown above,  Wise Guy Radio show hosts John Cha-Cha Ciarcia, second from right, and Vincent Pastore, at right could have used Frankie's Tommy Gun Guitar during their stint on The Sopranos.  Along with the show's host are the Precision's Frankie Carr, second from left, and Frankie's son, Frankie Jr. at left.  FYI . . .  John Cha-Cha Ciarcia and Frankie Carr are cousins.
