Happy Holidays 2023

Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” has been a holiday tradition on the blog since the very first Christmas season (despite various efforts by Big Music to block legitimate fair use).

So what better way to end the tradition than with this version, from 2007 in Paris? It features  the Boss speaking French even worse than mine, the Big Man in impeccable form, and an audience that shows why rock n’ roll will never die. (Video courtesy of Joroba at YouTube).

The Wine Curmudgeon is off today for the holiday, but will return tomorrow with our usual features. New Year’s Eve wine suggestions will post Thursday; the 2024 Turner Cheap Wine of the Year will be announced on Jan. 11, with the 2024 Hall of Fame following on Jan. 12.

Happy Holidays from the Wine Curmudgeon.
