Who's This Kid?
The network of Rock and Roll (Fox News) gives us another music scoop:
Costello, Bon Jovi Will Join the Boss
"I guess this means Bruce Springsteen really is the Boss of Bosses. I’m told that his Sunday night Christmas show at the Asbury Park Convention Center will now also feature Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and a “rumored” Elvis Costello — that’s in addition to Southside Johnny, the Max Weinberg 7, Garland Jeffreys, Jesse Malin, and soul legend Sam Moore. These shows, by the way, are for charity."

GUESTS GEARING UP FOR THE HOLIDAY SHOWS
Springsteen's 2003 Holiday Shows are less than a week away, with three benefit concerts in Asbury Park this coming weekend. Surprise guests have been a regular part of this new holiday tradition, with the bill including the Max Weinberg 7 "and Friends"... this time, some guests have been confirmed in advance. Returning for a second year will be Garland Jeffreys, who was part of the 2001 Convention Hall festivities (and who has already played with Bruce this year at Giants Stadium, Shea, and the Stone Pony). And new to the Holiday Show stage will be Jesse Malin, whose cover of "Hungry Heart" appeared on the Uncut and Light of Day tribute CDs earlier this year. If you want to prep for this weekend, we highly recommend picking up Jesse's The Fine Art of Self Destruction. Who else might be coming down Santa Claus lane? We'll keep you posted right here, with a full report after the first show on Friday.
UPDATE: Soozie Tyrell also confirms that she'll be there, Southside Johnny will be bringing his usual holiday spirit, and soul legend Sam Moore is expected as well. Moore, who contributed vocals to "Soul Driver," "Real World," and "Man's Job" on Human Touch, last joined Bruce on 10/15/99 for "Soul Man." According to www.foxnews.com, look for Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and the possible return of Elvis Costello on Sunday night.
