Last night, after a month break, the Outlaw Tour resumed in Clarkston, Michigan. And who else to recap it but our Dedicated Clarkston Correspondent (that is, she did last year’s show there too) Caryn Rose. 

(This is the first of a number of day-after recaps I’ll be running from leg two, mostly going out to paid subscribers only. And bonus: We’ve already got a full tape of last night too!)

Caryn writes Radio Nowhere, a great newsletter about Bruce Springsteen—“Flagging Down for The Boss” is reductive, but if you like this single-artist format and you like Bruce, it’s a must-subscribe—and right now she’s focusing on the 50th anniversary of Born To Run with essays about the great covers of the era as well as deep dives on the evolution of each song from the record including early demos. Click here for a sale on subscriptions in honor of the 2025 Springsteen tour. She also just wrote a guide to Tracks IIfor NPR.

Over to Caryn…
