his big concerts here in hammersmith in the 1970s were a huge launch pad for his international careerit's going to feel a little bit like a homecoming for him. well, i mean, obviously, they said it's in recognition of the catalogue that he has produced over the last 51 years since his debut album, greetings from asbury park. and bruce springsteen has been kind of the poet of the blue collar working class over those last five decades, you know, hits like my home town, born to run badlands. they're all eulogising the working men and women and the struggles they have, the circumstances they want to escape. and it's a contribution to the american song. but i think also to the global song book. you know, nobody writes lyrics the way he does, but also no one delivers them the way that bruce springsteen does, that gravelly growl in his voice and those epic 3 to 4 hour long concerts that he puts on. i saw him in hyde park last summer and he had more energy than i do. i'm half his age. mark savage talking to me earlier. for before we break, back to the life pictures from baltimore, there you s

the bacteria, which can cause serious infections, was discovered around hammersmith bridge. avoid swallowing river water. london's biggest baby bank says that when its helplines are open, a referral from authorities is made every 45 seconds. little village, which has hubs across the capital, gives out baby and child essentials to families in need. the charity says demand for its services went up by 22% last year. it's a continual wave of need. it's heartbreaking. it's really hard for our staff and volunteers, who are really desperate to help. we could open so many more spaces like this if we had the money to do it, and the need would still be there. it's easy to feel despondent in the face of such big problems that we can't individually change, but we can make an individual difference to families' lives. two councillors in south london have resigned within the space of 2a hours triggering by—elections. conservative croydon councillorjade appleton and labour's sheila berry, who represents sutton, handed in resignation letters this week. there will now be a vote to decide on t
