Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon comments on cover requests

After apparently being deluged by requests for covers of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon posted a request for a little less of that on their ongoing tour dates. He explained:

I'm asking that if anyone would like to come to [our] show, please come because you want to see what we're doing on that night. Don't come to hear a cover, it probably won't happen. Don't come to yell at me when I'm trying to share something with the audience to reach out to them about something I feel is moving me. For some reason I'm the one with microphone, which may be a mistake entirely. But if you want one and have something to say, please start a band, get in the van, sleep on floors, and work your butt off and maybe one day I'll find your band and I'll come see you play.
