#WhatsHappening for August 8, 2016

Hi kids. Hope the short week is going smooth for you.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band treated Philly fans to longest U.S. show they've ever put on. 

Thirty four songs and 4 hours and 4 minutes after the band started, last night's show at Citizens Bank Park had passed the Boss' previous record of 4 hours set at MetLife Stadium

in New Jersey just two weeks ago.

Last night's show was the second-longest of the band's career, behind the 4:06 show in Helsinki, Finland in 2012, and focused mainly on selections from Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle for the first 10 songs, and later included a nod to the city with a performance of the Academy Award-winning song, "Streets of Philadelphia."

The tour continues tomorrow night with another show in Philly.

Loretta Lynn has been forced to postpone all of her shows for the immediate future after suffering injuries in a fall that will require surgery.

While Lynn's injuries were described as not serious, a statement posted on her website yesterday said doctors have advised her to stay off the road until she's made a full recovery.

The singer/songwriter had already cancelled a Labor Day weekend show at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

Stevie Nicks says she's "hoping that this (tour) will be as much fun for the audience as it's gonna be for me" as she prepares to kick off a two month mini-tour in support of her 2014 album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault.

The album was comprised of tracks Nicks had written and made demo recordings of but had never appeared on any of her previous albums.
"I think this (tour) is going to be great," Nicks said. "I think that all the fans are gonna have a ball. And I hope that they totally just dress up- as Wendy Williams would say, 'Dress to the nines.' And come to party, and sing."

Nicks said the set list would likely vary from night to night, but added "Stand Back" would definitely be a part of it. The song, which she said was "written to" Prince’s "Little Red Corvette," and she’s "brokenhearted" that she was never able to have him share the stage with her on the song. "Had I ever in a million years thought that we would lose him, I would have made sure that that would have happened. And it didn't. So that's just one of those things in your life where you so say, 'I really missed out.' Because he should have. That should have happened. So whenever I play ‘Stand Back’ from this day forward, Prince will be standing next to me. That is always going to be a joy.”

Nicks also said fans who a clamoring for a new set of songs from Fleetwood Mac may get their wish- "I learned a long time ago to never say never. Right now, because of the fact that we know that people don't buy records… it's like, hard to sell records. So then you think, 'Well, why do you do records?' Well, the reason you do records is because it's like we're like kids again, and we can do anything we want. We have enough money. We don't really have to work if we don't want to. So we can do records for the reason that we actually did them in the very beginning- just 'cause it's fun.

"Is it possible that Fleetwood Mac might do another record? I can never tell you yes or no, because I don't know. I honestly don't know. … It's like, do you want to take a chance of going in and setting up in a room for like a year [to record an album] and having a bunch of arguing people? And then not wanting to go on tour because you just spent a year arguing? Or do you just go on tour because you know that you have fun up there and you love doing shows? And (Christine McVie's) only been back for a year and a half."
