...Zandt, after all, did spend a formative and formidable nine years as Miami Steve, the driving force and antic soul man of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. His guitar was the band's bedrock, and his harmonies with Springsteen were communions of friendship with the audience and with Bruce. He was at Springsteen's side during the first days of major glory in the mid-' 70s, when stardom broke so heavily, and he was there for the years of uncertainty and renewed triumph that followed. Van Zandt did some outside record producing during that time too, calling himself Sugar...
...time to find out if you got something else to contribute here on this planet.' " Men Without Women, his first Little Steven album, released in 1982, was a New York song cycle about hard life on the city streets.

In addition, the board ousted Bakker's former top aide, Richard Dortch, who had succeeded Bakker...

Johnson singles out the 17th century philosopher as the sort of non-Jewish Jew who sacrifices the soul of rationalism to cold logic. He quotes Soviet Writer Isaac Babel's self-mocking definition of a Jewish intellectual ("a man with spectacles on his nose and autumn in his heart") and brands Marx and Freud pseudo scientists...
...self-same area knocked Jimbo out for the season. McMahon slipped out the door ostensibly because his tee time had arrived; of course, he was simply trying to avoid having to answer my searing, gut-wrenching inquiries. I let him go. I had already pierced to the man's soul; no need to make him squirm any longer...
