Today our project took another step when Johanna was interviewed by TT Spektra.
TT Spektra is a Swedish news agency that produce articles that local papers all over the country can buy.

This feature article will be available from the next week, but it will probably be published in papers close to Springsteen’s two concerts in Sweden on July 23rd and 25th.

We talked a lot about why Swedes love Springsteen’s music so much, what the fans will say if E Street Band is dissolved, who the typical fan is and if you feel like a minority if you are a female fan. We didn’t really talk so much about our film, but the phenomenon of Springsteen.

It was very interesting and a lot of fun. It turned out that the reporter, Erik Helmerson, had been a big Brucefan, but after the BITUSA album he got fed up with the partyrocking bodypumping Bruce and he hadn’t listened to the music since.

We are also in negotiations with SVT, the Swedish national television, about our film. They are interested in the material, but now we have to decide how to proceed. Shall we finish the film on our own or try to get the television company to be our coproducer? We hope for the best and that we’ll get the money we need to finish the project.

In eight days it’s time for the first of the two Swedish concerts on the Devils & Dust-tour. We plan to be in Gothenburg to film and then get back to Stockholm as fast as we can to prepare for the show at Hovet.

There is going to be a gathering at a nearby pub before the concert, we plan to meet our fans there and film. After the show we will host a big party for the fans in a cosy cellar vault in the Old Town. We will show our pilot film and do some more shooting. Read more about the party at this address

We’re busy planning and organizing everything for next week, but stay tuned with us here and you’ll know more about how everything is proceeding.
