The Boss has a new album, "Magic," coming out on October 2.

The lead single, Radio Nowhere is available as a free download on iTunes. It's no Born to Run, but a solid song.

More exciting is the news that Bruce and the E Street Band will be going on tour this fall, with four dates in the area:

• October 9-10 East Rutherford, N.J., Continental Airlines Arena


• October 17-18 New York, N.Y., Madison Square Garden

Both the MSG and CAA shows go on sale September 10

Farther afield, Albany, Hartford and Philadelphia are also stops on the tour, for when NYC and East Rutherford sell out instantly.
