2021 – No Nukes Post Hits by Country
(ignore April 30, 2017 publish Date – this was published on September 28, 2021)
As you may know, I posted on this blog on 9-22-21 about the No Nukes show I shot at Madison Square Garden on 9-22-79.
On 9-26-21, I started to notice a steady deluge of dozens of blog visits in my stats that ALL had similar pages/hits numbers – that means they were all going to the same destination – a rarity that hasn’t stopped as I write this two days later:
I was able to initially trace them all the way to Greasy Lake.
Actually, Greasy Lake – in this case – is a well-known site (https://www.greasylake.org) that bills itself as “The Ultimate Bruce Springsteen Tribute Page”. Someone there simply posted the link to my post without another word. A few hours later, someone else replied that they liked my post and thanked the other person for the link………….that’s it.
The floodgates were open!
Yesterday, two posts were made on another great Springsteen tribute site – https://www.backstreets.com/ – that had nice things to say, resulting in an increased flow of blog visitors.
As of October 22, 2021, the final count for the one month after I initially made the No Nukes post is 36 countries around the world making 513 visits. The highest total – by far – was Spain, which made 178 of those visits:
Argentina – 1
Australia – 5
Austria – 4
Belgium – 2

One last thing for all the Greasy Lakers and the Backstreeters:
Before either of your great tribute sites existed, before there was an Internet to display them, there was the original Springsteen tribute magazine: Thunder Road, to which I contributed photos.
Publisher Ken Viola and I knew each other from the famous Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. Ken worked security and I was the house photographer.
In the late 70s, I lived about 3 blocks from Ken in Ridgefield Park, NJ, so when he needed a last-minute Bruce photo, he got it quickly.
