We went to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on Tuesday and I've only just realised that I've been mixing up these two when talking about it pre- and post-gig for the last few weeks when a friend incredulously replied to my retelling of events that he didn't know Stevie Ray Vaughan was in the E Street Band. Bah.

I have this theory that The Beatles sing the word "nonpareil" with a weird accent in their version of "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey" but I stand kind of alone with this theory. Maybe someone else even presented it to me long ago, but they are not around to comment.

Yes due to names, but if you look at their physical presences I have a bigger problem distinguishing Arkin from Frank Langella.

Langella was great in Dave, and honestly I kinda conflated him with Arkin for a while
