Who's Bruce Springsteen gonna call when he needs an opening number for his 2024 Halloween show?
That's right... Ghostbusters.
Springsteen opened up his Thursday night concert in Montreal with a loving, unironic take on Ray Parker Jr.'s chart-topping theme song to 1984's second-highest grossing film. In a year that's already been filled with surprises, it's still hard not to be taken aback by watching the 75-year old disputed billionaire enthusiastically shouting "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"
At the time of this writing the show was still ongoing but has seemingly settled into a more typical set list, with "Ghostbusters" followed by "Seeds," which has been played live by Springsteen twelve times this year and more than 200 times overall despite never appearing on a studio album, then "Lonesome Day" and "No Surrender."
Thursday night's show marked the beginning of a Canadian tour that will see Springsteen crossing the Great White North (Beauty, eh? "Coooo-loo-cooo-cooo-coo-coo-coo-coo!") for most of the next month, concluding with a Nov. 22 show in Vancouver. The Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band documentary debuted last week on Disney Plus, and was promoted by yet another TV special, ABC's Backstage and Backstreets, which aired on Oct. 20.
Springsteen also made his choice in the upcoming Presidential election crystal clear, appearing onstage in support of Kamala Harris while labeling Donald Trump an "American tyrant."
Maybe Ray Parker or Huey Lewis can sure him.
Rapinoe looking ghoul
I hope you mean “sue”??
I remember Bruce Springsteen.
Uh, I won’t be viewing that.
Commie scumbag
I don’t give that working class fraud one click.
Love how Bruce Springsteens initials are BS, apropos.
One note commie biotch.
If Naomi Wolf can become a Trump supporter, so can Bruce Springsteen!

If—Lord willing—Trump wins New Jersey, he may have to!
He is a fraud. Springsteen has never ever had a real job. Not even McDonalds.
He can hide on his 400-acre horse farm for the next four years after next week.
I don’t care for communists who got rich off of free market capitalism.
Take a hike, Springsteen.
Hard pass. Old, largely irrelevant hate filled, low talent leftist.
no thanks
No talent.
I remember him and it’s PTSD,
No thanks - he’s currently on my “shut up and sing” probation list.
I don’t hold grudges against these asshole celebrities for very long, but it’s too soon since he last annoyed me.
Barbra Streisand beat him to it but yes apropos.
