Will Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band wrap its long-running Wrecking Ball world tour without one last North American swing???

Perhaps they should have called this the Curve Ball tour. Tom Morello, filling in for Steven Van Zandt during the E Street Band's ongoing concerts through Australia, says Bruce Springsteen tinkers with the setlist until the absolute last moment.

This summer it was suggested that Bruce Springsteen may have to be without Steven Van Zandt for dates in 2013 due to the guitarist's previous acting commitments. Today, Springsteen announced that Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine will take over for Van Zandt when Springsteen tours Australia in March.

A new movie about the impact of the British Invasion on teenagers in suburban New Jersey, 'Not Fade Away,' is set to hit theaters soon. The film is the first feature-length film written and directed by David Chase, the creator of 'The Sopranos.' The trailer, cut to the Rolling Stones' 'Parachute Woman,' is embedded below.

E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt isn't solely interested in preserving rock's past, he is also deeply committed to creating future generations of musicians. last night (Oct. 16), the man known as "Little Steven" received the Big Man of the Year award from Little Kids Rock. He was presented the award by his longtime friend and musical partner, Bruce Springsteen.

It was 27 years ago today (October 16th, 1985) that "Little" Steven Van Zandt got like-minded performers into a studio to cut the track "Sun City." The song, which featured contributions from Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, and many others in an attack on apartheid, has been credited with helping bring down the all-white minority government of South Africa.
