Bruce Springsteen, ‘Nebraska,’ Photo Gallery Gratitude for the Jersey Shore and a Directive from The Boss: ‘Let’s Hear Three Cheers for Asbury Park!’

With the impending release of the major motion picture, "Deliver Me From Nowhere," about Bruce Springsteen and his 1982 album, "Nebraska," the time is right for a deep dive on all things related to The Boss. By way of federal highways, Nebraska is roughly 1,500 miles from Asbury Park, a trip that, by car, would take just less than 24 hours if driven in one clip. But, in reality, Nebraska, and "Nebraska," are much more closely aligned with New Jersey than what appears at first glance.

2024 Music Festivals to Look Forward To… When It Cools Off in September

If you're like me, then perhaps this summer is just a bit too fucking hot to do music festivals. Yeah, these record-breaking 2024 heatwaves suck... but never fear, for we at MendoWerks have put together a list of some US-based music festivals to look forward to when it cools off (hopefully) later on this year. My hope is that it'll be safe to go outside again by September... so let's start there. 2024 Music Festivals: September Okay, I lied to you... we're technically starting on August 30th, which is when Rocklahoma kicks off. Rocklahoma is a festival that's always been on my bucket list. They consistently have some of the best hard rock line-ups out there. This year, Rocklahoma has some very special-to-my-Zillennial-heart headliners: Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfo...
