SPRINGSTEEN HEARTS OBAMA, WILL PLAY PARKWAY SATURDAY
Bruce Springsteen, greatest rock star alive and all-around good guy, will play the Parkway on Saturday in support of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Yeah, we know.
AMAZING!
So what's the deal? Springsteen will play the Parkway between 20th and 22nd sts. on Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m., with gates opening at 2 p.m. Preferred tickets go to volunteers, but that doesn't mean an average schlub such as yourself won't feel the Springsteen love. Keep checking pa.barackobama.com/springsteen for more general ticket info. Yeah, we know there's nothing there right now, but the higher ups are having a press conference tomorrow to discuss more semantics. Don't worry, we'll let you know.
Springsteen and Obama have been having a mutual lovefest ever since the campaign got going. Springsteen threw his weight behind Obama in April. Barack returned the favor claiming his as a fave artists on iPod ("And did he address him as the Boss? 'You've got to,' the candidate said.") way back in June. After Obama's speech at the DNC, Springsteen's iconic "Born in the U.S.A." blared over the speakers, which was both a kick in the nuts to the Republicans and the best way to end a speech in the history of public oration.
It's an accoustic set, so no full band "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" or anything, but just in case Clarence Clemmons and the boys show up to kick ass and take names, here's something to whet your appetite:
