EIGHT THINGS

STILL THE BOSS: Rock doesn’t shine with a deeper or more lustrous patina than as played these days by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band on their “Magic” tour, which loops back to the Southland this week. The set list gets tweaked each night, and if, at 58, the Boss isn’t offering his four-hour marathons of yore, he’s compensating with an artistic wisdom, grace and, yes, fire that he, or we, might not have imagined possible three decades ago. 7:30 p.m.

Mon.-Tue., Honda Center. $40-$95. (714) 704-2500

2. SALUTE TO BERGMAN

Filmmaker Ingmar Bergman’s formidable body of work is saluted this weekend with a series of screenings that includes “Cries and Whispers,” “Through a Glass Darkly” and “Fanny & Alexander.” Fri.-Sun., Linwood Dunn Theater. $5. (310) 247-3600

3. AFTER THE REVOLUTION

It’s been nearly 40 years since the Chicano art movement erupted into the mainstream, and we’re still feeling the aftershocks today. The new LACMA exhibition “Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement” focuses on some of the experimental spinoffs from that revolutionary guard. This expansive show features close to 125 works, including Julio Cesar Morales’ “Undocument Interventions #1,” right. Opens Sunday. LACMA. $12. (323) 857-6000; www.lacma.org

6. DiFRANCO’S ENTERPRISE

When then-18-year-old Ani DiFranco founded her label, she’d already been busking and singing in coffee shops for almost a decade. Nearly 20 years later, DiFranco has toured the world, had a daughter and built an enviable business model. Breaking from a hectic schedule (including concerts Friday and Saturday at the Orpheum), she’ll sit with “Backlash” author Susan Faludi to discuss feminism in the modern landscape. 7 tonight, Hammer Museum. Free. www.hammer.ucla.edu

7. ILLUSIONS AND MORE

Great-granddaughter of Eugene O’Neill, granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, daughter of two nouveau cirque pioneers – Aurélia Thiérrée is dripping with talent. Her “Aurélia’s Oratorio” arrives at UCLA, where illusions and acrobatics will star alongside a people-flying kite, puppets – even the curtains get in the act. 8 p.m. Thur.-Sat.; also 2 p.m. Sat. $22-$42 UCLA Freud Playhouse. (310) 825-2101; www.uclalive.org

8. SUPERSTYLIN’

England’s Groove Armada may be best known in the U.S. for catchy dance hits like “I See You Baby” that have a knack for ending up in TV commercials. Lately, the group has explored more chilled-out sounds, like its take on Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric?” The duo’s DJ set on the steps of City Hall promises to be electric indeed. 6 p.m. Sat., City Hall, 1st at Main streets, L.A. $36.50. www.goldenvoice.com

4. BIG MAN ON CAMPUS

Artie Lange has become something of a John Belushi for a legion of twentysomethings (and older Howard Stern fans). The New Jersey native and “Rescue Me” cast member, a Stern regular who has a following from his days on “Mad TV,” has been a crack-up recently – riffing on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” about going to his “old coke dealer’s kid’s bar mitzvah.” He takes the stage with Venice-based funnyman Greg Fitzsimmons. 8:15 p.m. Sat., Gibson Amphitheatre. $29.75-$49.75.

5. STILL STRONG AT 77

Universally acknowledged as an icon of jazz’s golden age, saxophonist Sonny Rollins (left), 77, is still stretching the improvisational envelope. And the night before Rollins hits the Cerritos Center, Arturo Sandoval, Cuban expatriate trumpeter, pianist, singer and drummer, heats up the same stage. Sandoval, 8 p.m. Fri. ($25-$52); Rollins, 8 p.m. Sat. ($36-$60), Cerritos Center. (800) 300-4345; www.cerritoscenter.com
