OT: Southside Johnny Suddenly Retires from Touring, Cancels NYE Show

[RUInsanity]

Did not realize that Bruce and Van Zandt were part of the Jukes at some point and that they had a heavy hand in writing the songs for the Hearts of Stone album. Recommend watching the Van Zandt documentary "Disciple" for a glimpse of that era and the collaboration.

Thanks to Gary Wien for including my comments in his tribute article to Southside Johnny. For those not familiar, New Jersey Stage is the Garden State's best website covering music, theater, and the arts. Gary runs the site and is also the author of perhaps the greatest book, Beyond the Palace, ever written about the Asbury Park music scene. (In addition, Gary used to be a regular poster on TKR. His moniker was lighty. He stopped posting here a few years ago.)

Don't have the link handy, but read that Jeff Kazee, SSJ's musical director said SSJ will still do shows, just not tour each year.
