Fontana, appear on The Milton Berle Show in April 1956. Decades later, Weinberg said, “I think anybody who wanted to develop a life in rock ‘n’ roll music had a moment. That was my moment,” and Fontana became a major influence on him.

Weinberg was still living at home when he met Bruce Springsteen on April 7, 1974 when his band, The Jim Marino Band, were Springsteen’s support at Seton Hall. Springsteen had parted ways with his drummer, Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez, earlier that year, and the replacement, Ernest “Boom” Carter, lasted only six months before leaving with pianist David Sancious to form Tone. Weinberg answered a Springsteen Village Voice newspaper ad that famously requested, “no junior Ginger Bakers,” in reference to Ginger Baker’s reputation for long drum solos. Weinberg auditioned with Springsteen and the core E Street Band in mid-late August of that year at the SIR studios in Midtown Manhattan, bringing a minimalist drum kit with him consisting only of hi-hats, a snare drum and a bass drum. He knew one Springsteen song from the Marino band, “Sandy”, and played it. His drumming on the Fats Domino song “Let the Four Winds Blow” sealed the position as his. A week later he was offered the $110 per week job (US$570 in 2019 dollars) and he quit college immediately, about six academic credits short of a degree. Weinberg’s first public performance came on September 19, 1974, at The Main Point in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
