He’s becoming ‘Mighty Max” again, the drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and will travel the world with the year’s most anticipated rock concert tour before returning to TV at the end of summer. Let’s see: one person, two dream jobs. Weinberg is grateful he wasn’t forced to makea choice. When Springsteen announced in January that he would tour with the E Street Band for the first time in 11 years, Weinberg approached O’Brien and producer Jeff Ross. Was there any way he could dothis? He wasn't about to quit. No way. O’Brien’s showhadgiventhe 48-year-old what few faded rock 'n’ rollers ever get — a second act in life. He'd never missed a Conan show — 1,048 in a row — even arranging to appear by satellite from Los Angeles when Spring- steen asked him to drum on the Academy Awards. After a shaky start, “Late Night” hashit its stride with the audienceand critics. It’s a great gig. If NBC had said no, Springsteen would be looking for anoth- er drummer. “I love Bruce, the guys in the band,” Weinbergsaid. “I love the history and the music. But the last 54 years havereally proved to methat I moved on.” O’Brien and Ross gave him the chance to move back. Guitarist Jimmy Vivinowillfill in as bandleader.

Featuring? But evenif you’re in a bad marriage,it’s still a shock to be handed divorce papers. Weinberg went to Seton Hall, the New Jersey college, earned a degree in communications. He briefly tried law school. He even turned to a buddy, ex-Beatle Ringo Starr, for advice on how to cope when the band you've made yourlife has broken up. Springsteen urged him to keep drumming, but Weinberg had givenit up by the day four years later when he spotted Conan O’Brien on a Manhattanstreet corner and introduced himself. It was a fluke, just like when he answered an ad in the Village Voice and wound up in the E Street Band. O’Brien had just been selected to replace David Letterman whenheleft for CBS. He wanted something musically that no one else was doing and liked Weinberg’s idea for a neoswing band. The drummerauditioned andgotthe job. About three-quarters of the mail Weinberg gets these daysis about O'Brien's show, not the E Street Band. He suspects many young fans don’t know his past life.
