Everybody had a band: not only Springsteen and Southside, but also Miami Steve, Vini ("Mad Dog") Lopez (who played drums on Bruce's first two albums) and Garry Tallent (now bass guitarist for the E Street Band). They all would appear at a dive called the Upstage Club for $15 a night, work from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., then party together, play records and adjourn till the next afternoon, when they would meet on the boardwalk to check the action and talk music. For sport everyone played Monopoly, adding a few refinements that made the game more like...

CLEMONS PLAYED with Springsteen on his first two albums; hearing him again conjures up images of the loose, everybody-plays-three-instruments exuberance that is lost in Born to Run. Only Clemons and Garry Tallent, the bass guitarist, remain from the "E Street" group, and Tallent no longer fools around with tubas and accordians--the brass players on Born To Run are pros, on loan from other studios. What makes Born To Run frustrating to listen to is the lingering suspicion--no, firm conviction--that with the spunk of his original group, Bruce Springsteen would have produced a great record...

Rolls stock, which had been priced as high as $6.44 per share only last November, hit bottom at the news: there were no takers at a penny a share.

There was even the question of how housewives would be able to get guaranteed repair service on John Bloom's washing machines. Shocked into action, the London Stock Exchange last...

Just Deserts. Tallent's bedroom look cost him his majority on the Cabazon town council; it voted him out as mayor, although he kept his place on the council itself. It was L. D. Tallent who seized the initiative, forced a recall election of the council members, including himself. At high noon on election day last week, the temperature in Cabazon reached 110°. But resting beside his 40-ft., indoor swimming pool, Tallent was cool to the point of indifference. "I don't care if I win this election or not," he drawled...

When the returns were in, Tallent was off the council-and so was the three-man anti-Tallent majority. Aware that a new poker parlor was beginning to pay off, Cabazon chose Tallent's followers. "Yes sir," beamed Tallent, celebrating with gambler friends, "you can say I'm perfectly satisfied...
