I have to laugh about Bruce Springsteen and his acoustic concert he did at a political rally the other day.
I never really followed the "Boss". I have one of his albums and he has three songs that I liked.
I never went to any of his concerts-he's one of those 'sincere' rockers that I didn't find that entertaining.

Tim Russert, the recently deceased news anchor/host, was a huge fan of BS's
and met him on one occasion. TR had invited him to go on his show for an interview. BS told Russert that he didn't want to get involved with a 'political'
TV show, and turned him down.
On the tribure show for TR one of the guests said that Russert was disappointed by BS and his refusal to participate.
At a concert soon after TR's death SpringSPLEEN dedicated a song to Russert, "Born in the U.S.A.'
BS appearance at this political rally made me laugh at the "phonyness" of a person who would turn down a chance to sit down with one of the brightest news personalities of our time-just to show up at a gathering for some political buffoons afterwards.
Moron.
