The Official Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Thread.

Because, and forgive me if this is common knowledge, I just learned that Wal Mart doesn't report ales numbers to Billboard, and with all the promotion Bruce got through WM, I wonder if the album moved a significant amount there.

Keep an eye on backstreets.com/btx for spares - there's a good chance you'll get sorted.

CONAN O'Brien's drum ming sidekick, Max Weinberg, is not expected to be joining "The Tonight Show" when O'Brien takes over the show next month.

Weinberg, the longtime anchor of O'Brien's house band, The Max Weinberg 7, is also the longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band.

It is understood that Weinberg, a father of two and a Newark native, rakes in bigger bucks from Springsteen and does not want to be forced to leave his south Jersey home for the move to LA.

He is also said to loathe the notion of giving up his season tickets for the NJ Devils.

As Conan's move to LA has been approaching, there have been published reports about Weinberg's attempts to sell 22 acres of his 40-acre estate in Middletown, NJ, to developers. The proposed sale is not sitting well with some neighbors and officials in Middletown Township, the story said. According to reports, Weinberg plans to keep his New Jersey home - where he lives with his wife and two children - while living at least part-time in the LA area.

Weinberg has reportedly been looking at homes in the LA area, but has apparently chilled on the idea. NBC officials say "Tonight Show" producers have not yet given up trying to woo Weinberg.

"The show would like him to [move] and we're trying to figure it out," a NBC spokesman says.

Weinberg could not be reached for comment yesterday.

On "Late Night," Weinberg is occasionally presented in sketches as a twisted character with sexual fetishes and homicidal tendencies.

Weinberg joined Conan back in 1993, reportedly after a chance meeting with the late-night host outside the Carnegie deli.
