MORE AND NEW DARKNESS. In between the game-changing albums “Born to Run” and “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” Bruce Springsteen’s career was derailed by legal turmoil and artistic indecisiveness. The struggle is documented on a new six-disc box set, “The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story” (Columbia), which presents the original 1978 album in remastered form and supplements it with dozens of outtakes and three DVDs containing live performances and a documentary.  Evidently, the Boss dealt with this stress by writing 70+ songs for the Darkness LP.

MARRIED BY THE BOSS? This photo also popped up last night on Fallon’s show prompting the Boss to say he was sitting on the bench when the couple came by with a photographer and a guitar.  The dude was planning on proposing (hence the photographer) and Bruce told them to sit. They asked for a photo.  Of course, the photo went viral, prompting a bemused Bruce to tell Fallon the moral of this story is: “If you stumble across  the Easter Bunny, you have to tell someone.”
