That would be almost funny if that red haired guy was sitting at a keyboard of some sort
Who is the orange haired guitarist surposed to be ?
Asking for a friend ?
PSA
A little bit of NJ history
The late great Danny Federici was a founding member of the E Street band and he had red hair but he played organ, accordion and glockenspiel
Patti Scialfa (aka Mrs Springsteen) has red hair and can play guitar but she joined the band for the born in the USA tour so that's 12 years after the first album that included blinded by the light
The sound that Danny brought to the E Street band is every bit as identifiable and iconic as Clarence Clemons' saxophone
A Deuce is a 1932 Ford Coupe

Poor Danny died of melanoma a few years back, the first member of the band to die. God took him too soon
Danny was adopted by an Italian American mom and dad and i don't think growing up in the 50s and 60s people were big on sunscreen
he was a child prodogy and as a little kid had another little kid be his roadie to lug his accordian around
he was a bit naughty
He once reported his car stolen but ended up being arrested because when the cops found it it had a large Marijuana pot plant in the front seat
he had a smile that would light up an arena !
This isnt the song he is most famouse for but its lovelly. It came out when Bruce had the band on hiatus
Enjoy
(Btw I don't know jack about diamonds )
Danny, you are the man !
I love Springsteen, but Manfred Mann's version of Blinded by the Light is by far my favorite.
