Michael Janairo is the Arts & Entertainment editor for the Times Union, and "previously worked as the copy desk chief for features and for the news side copy desk". I read his article on the Bruce Springsteen concert on April 16, 2012. Springsteen and the band "delivered a night of power, emotion and showmanship". Springsteen played many songs, but the "biggest thrills of the night" came from his album "Wrecking Ball". Springsteen's high energy allowed him to pull people of the audience to come up on stage, and he also stage-dived and crowd-surfed. Springsteen also brought up the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, and "urged people to donate". "62-year old Springsteen [had] amazing energy and connection with his fans". In addition for to his work with the Times Union, Janairo writes fiction and nonfiction pieces "that have been published in literary magazines".
