And so we’ve reached the end of the\u00a0Cover Me<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

It’s incomplete, as it was always destined to be. Trying to catalog and chronicle every song Bruce Springsteen has ever covered is the very definition of chasing a moving target.<\/p>\n

Even so, I’m sure some of you will notice the absence of a few classics. I’m at peace with it, though. John Fogerty has so many entries in this series that I can forgive myself for never getting around to “Proud Mary.” (I did write an entry for “Travelin’ Band” specifically for this book, though. That one I couldn’t leave out.)<\/p>\n

There is, however, one particular cover that will probably render you aghast if and when you realize its omission.\u00a0That’s intentional, because I always intended it to be the last essay I would ever write for the blog. It’ll see publication as the last entry in Volume 50 of the Bookshelf Collection sometime in late 2027 or early 2028.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading Cover Me<\/em> over the years. This was the series I always enjoyed writing the most. \u00a0I hope you enjoy reading the final collection.<\/p>\n
