I don’t know… Maybe Patti did get around before Bruce. Maybe he got around, too. People can change if they find their soul mate. I honestly believe this. I love Bruce and all the good his music stands for, all the good he stands for. He has a right to be opinionated, as we all do. Just because you don’t agree with his veiws doesn’t mean you should be ugly towards him or his family. That is pathetic and deplorable. I feel he is a positive force in the world. He has a lot of passion and he wants only the best for his fellow man. I think it is sad how the world is going lately and has been for a long time. If someone is out there speaking against atrocities that is a very good thing. He is in a good position to do so. Whether, he was famous for his craft or not, I’d be behind him all the way.

I can barely get out of my house with all of this interesting stuff…now they have Tupac on msnbc and I have to leave in one minute or so. That’s so the doctor can keep me waiting for 15 minutes with nothing but a seashell to listen to.At least he has a seashell. I’m not a mister, but Mr. Bean is a trip.I am the original bean.oh wow…”the ghetto is all good for nobody” Is emo emotion?

Mr. Bean,

Well, for instance, let’s take Brandon’s band:

Described as emotional and energetic - the band’s sound is timeless. They have songs that range from the “rock ballad” to mid-tempo “pop” songs to the in-your-face heavy songs - yet are undeniably the Killers. The mixture allows people to identify with the band on many different levels - much like a typical day in anyone’s life.

Emo is just always there for you, ya know?

Emokid, I like the cut of your jib. Or is it jiz?

Oh well, I could use me some emo, cuzz like the Bosss once said:

Empty sky, empty sky. I woke up this morning to an empty sky.

Empty sky, empty sky I woke up this morning to an empty sky.

ok bring it on, time to learn something new…what is emo?Your last name is interesting, hard to miss. I vaguely remember eno, but I think that was Brian Eno. Today I pray that my parents have a good day, meanwhile, I educate myself.I should get a phd for hope.

I love me some fresh emo. And indie.

Forget about Bruce Sprangsteam….he’s for old people like my grandpappy!

Is anyone here into emo?

Brandon…I found you. Not sure what the song is to which you referred but I loved Mr. Brightside. Are you going to be playing In Texas, Dallas or austin ever?Fun nice lyrics

Brandon is my grandsons name, so I’m going to listen to your song I hope it’s on Rhapsody. Is smoking a pole a cigar or pot? Bruce doesn’t do drugs, he’s just carried away by romance.

Now that 9 11 is coming up, I suppose the people of the East coast will be kind to each other again. I myself am in the yellow rose of ? Don’t mess with my Lexus.’Really I have an old Pathfinder, Bruce, where’s my 57 chevy? I guess I will have to buy my own car, even though I have red hair and was born in New Jersey. Mighty Kwan Yin, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? Please be nice to one another, we are all in this most beautiful life together…bound for eternity.

Have you guys heard my new song? It’s a tribute to my hero Bruce.

The Boss was the first one who taught me how to smoke pole.

She gives a bad rap to Jersey Girls. Why? Does she not have genital warts?

Parking Lot Patti–that’s a good one; the E Street boys called her all kinds of things and had to shut up when she married the Boss. Besides slutty, they called her Bratty Patti. And, she wasn’t even important..she acted real big like she was a star…just a two bit player like the rest of the whores sleeping their way to the top. You think she’s gonna let anyone topple her now? She gives a bad rap to the name Jersey Girl.

I don’t give a damn about his married life!!!!!! But he needs to shut the hell up. He’s in a public arena and he chooses to use this arena to voice political babble and whatever else tickles his fancy. The same media ,and fans for that matter, that praises his insignificant crap are going to rake him across the coals. It’s a shame that people in the limelight don’t have any privacy but that’s the way it has been since the beginning of time. It’s not going to change for good ole Bruce.

c.k. chesterton Red is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe.It is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear the thinnest and something beyond burns through.

So we have one person bitching about how artists should just play their music and not be political. And we have another person coming on to an article about an artists marital troubles and ranting about politics. Man you guys should just fuck and get that agression out.

Who cares! It’s his life. He says there’s nothing going on, so there isn’t. He is famous for making great music, not for “anna nicole smithing” it. His personal life shouldn’t matter to the public.

Patti started sleeping with Bruce when he was still married to another woman.

You reap what you sow.

Who cares!

Sounds like Patti is a Brilliant Disguise.

Marriage is an interesting institution, I cannot figure it out, so I have chosen to not marry.How can one know that they will never break the bond…we cannot know the future.It seems like putting yourself in a cage.As close as i can get with a translation…Rilke said “It seems there are a thousand bars, beyond the bars No World”Other people see marriage differently, something one does to have children.I have children.Their father is my best friend and knows me better than anyone else in the world.He’s a wizard, he’s a true star.As for the comments about Patti, let the circle be unbroken.

opps,every rung just makes us stronger

oh my gosh, such nasty things to be said about someones wife, how mean can you people be? I really hope Bruce & Patti aren’t reading any of this stuff. Everything rung just makes us stronger!!!!!

So Brucey want’s “where fans of my music can come free of the distractions that occasionally arise with the rest of my job,” Sure Bruce! How about shutting up with your political dribble for a change. Why do you and all the other celebrities think that you have the inside track on all that is good and wholesome and right about the world? I couldn’t care less what the hell you think of the political landscape. Us “regular” citizens are capable of thinking for ourselves and coming to the colusion(s) we think are correct. I couldn’t care less about what your political views are. On the other hand maybe the “political distraction” is a good idea. It keeps the focus off that crap you call music. Shut the hell up and just play your music for the fans. At least the Born in the USA disk is good. That’s one!

Ditto on the ‘cold hearted, ego driven bitch’ comments….do you know what her nickname was among the E Street band before she finally got Bruce? Parking Lot Patti…figure it out…..

Another musician I dearly love and remember, Vince Welnick, he had red hair too, and was a musical man.He crossed my path also and was a positive light. Emily # 1614 Parting wih Thee reluctantly,That we have never met,A Heart sometimes a Foreigner,Remembers it forgot- They are good men

now that Bush has come out with his new Nazi fear factor, it’s time for Bruce to really get his message out that Americans have to wake up before this madman destroys the planet.

While we at it about the nazis, let’s not forget to mention the zionists terrorists like the Irgun and the Stern gang. Fair is fair and both are reponsible for horrific crimes against humanity.

Emily dickinson # 764 Presentiment-is that long Shadow-on the Lawn-Indicative that Suns go down-The notice to the startled Grass That Darkness-is about to pass- this poetry is timeless…who is Emily?what is her e mail address I wonder

All you people are sick

#1331 Emily Dickinson…..Wonder-is not precisely Knowing And not precisely Knowing not-A beautiful but bleak condition He has not lived who has not felt-Suspense-is his maturer Sister-Whether Adult Delight is Pain Or of itself a new misgiving-This is the Gnat that mangles men-

I’m glad that bruce springsteen came out to set the record straight that his marriage to patti scialfa is just fine and is doing strong, and i find that they should find out who leak out those nasty rumors lisalove

Patti is the true jersey girl, there is no one else that fits with him like she does, he doesn’t need the publicitiy, his true fans love Bruce, faults & all, leave the other stuff to bono!!Sounds like all the losers that left the Cleveland show because there was no BORN IN THE USA.a true fan is a fan forever.,regardless of his martial status!!
Keep ‘em coming Bruce!!

will everyone mind their own business and leave the Springsteens alone.

Laurie is one of those that has obviously never been out of her backyard.

Hate is powerful and destructive, it starts wars. Get rid of your hate and pray. While Bin Laden was building up his terrorist camps to kill 3000 people on 9/11 Clinton was was being impeached for lying. I guess he had other worries then homeland security.

Bush is cleaning up the mess that Clinton created.. Did Bush cause Hussein to kill 2 million people? Do you realize the leader of Iraq was torturing and slaughtering people because of their beliefs? He was a Hitler in Iraq.. If Bush did nothing the liberals would be crying that no one is helping them.

There is a lot of evil in our world both here and oversees we should never back down to the evils of this world! Go Bush

Those who tell Springsteen to shut up about politics and sing are plainly stupid,most likely of the republican kind.

Music is the way by which an artist expresses his or her views and that is what Springsteen is doing with his music. Those who want to see artists shut up about politics and sing bubble gums songs should go to Jessica Simpson concerts and should shut up about Bruce. These people are not worthy of Bruce.

I hate Bush and everything he has done to this country, his abuse of our civil rights, his using fear to control the people, his criminal acts toward Iraq, and toward all of those who have lost their lives to satisfy that crazy man’s ambition and drug laden vision of what the world should be like i.e. American domination which nobody wants. Bush has managed to make us into the most hated country in history.

who cares. and to ‘let them eat cake’…if the post is a republican smear rag, then let’s not forget that rolling stone is the left wing equivalent…talk about a bunch of hysterical, paranoid pelosi-boxer-reid-kerry-clinto n-feingold-kennedy-gore lovers.

I will believe it when Bruce acts like an idiot and jumps around on Oprah’s couch. Until then, foregetaboutit…………

“Kooksy’s” posting got it right…it was the Tunnel of Love Tour…and ” auramac” got it wrong…we don’t work for the Post, aren’t bitter or jealous….actually we could care less who Bruces is with; actually Patti means zero to us; it’s about time Patti is exposed for what she really is about..she has destroyed so many relationships around Bruce; its a shame. We all think Bruce is one of the best people on the planet …Bruce’s voice is a necessary voice in this world and we hope he will continue to share his thoughts, words, views, energy, heart and voice with the world for a long time to come…you’re an amazing human being Bruce with a special soul and you share it so beautifully with everyone on the planet. Thank you a million times over.

It sounds like the Republican Smear Machine is in full gear.

Springsteen has given his time and talent tirelessly for his political beliefs and he is a very talented guy.

I’m sick of people snooping into the personal lives of celebreties.

Check out all the skeletons in your own closets and stop spreading rumors-it’s not my business and doubt if the New York Post published it, it has any relevance considering the source-Rupert Murdoch-a big Republican who is a lap dog for Bush and does not like the influence Bruce has among American youth……

The Post is a Republican Rag-Murdoch got his start publishing rags w/porno and inaccurate gossip…..

Anyone dumb enough to subscribe to it is stupid enough to believe the phony hype……

This endless fascination with celebrities is a sign of the times. Leave Bruce alone and go back to gossiping about the vapid people ie. Hilton, Simpson etc.Bruce is one of the “real” people left in showbiz.So much shit out there.

Nicole, what gives you the right to use this forum to express your political views?? I’m outraged!

(I hope you’re getting the sarcasm.)

Its a free world! Bruce is still a true legend!

What kind of retard records an entire album full of Pete Seeger songs? What a douche!

Really..

Are all of you “people” Still Crazy After All These Years?

–Paul Simon

SURPRISE(!)

I’m not an “american idiot”

Better get some of that good ol’ (Country Music) “redneck agenda”

George W (Washington.. that is..)

So an artist should use his platform to shower us from their great height with useless shallow drivel. We shoul pay to hear that! We do that everyday when we pay taxes and turn on Fox News.
The whole point is for art to force us to move outside the box, to feel a connectness and inspiration beyond our own mundane existence, and to identify with the idea that someone out there understands us and cares. Music is a creative expression, if the times are tough and times are sad, and if we feel a disatisfaction with the way the political arena is moving around us, shouldn’t we want our musicians to express this so we know someone can feel our pain, cuz it sure as hell ain’t being felt in Washington!

Right, so according to many of those who post here, a musician should use his platform for shallow meaningless dribble. Isn’t art supposed to inspire us to think outside the box. Don’t we listen to music for connectness and inspiration. God forbid an artist use his medium and platform to actually effect a reaction from the masses. Right or wrong the craft is created for the sole purpose of an effect! Get it?

I HAVE FOLLOWED BRUCE SINCE I WAS 16 YEARS OLD, I THINK HE IS A GREAT STORY TELLER, A WONDERFUL WRITER, AND A PREMIER PERFORMER.
I ALSO EXPECT BRUCE TO BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL, BUT HE IS ONLY HUMAN.

he’s really not just an “entertainer”, but more of a spokesman and a troubadour, which gives him the right to express what he feels. His music is about expressing things, not merely entertain.

O yeah… read the Bible twice

Think of that “war to end all wars”

It has to stop and we need your help

You know who is buried in my tomb.

And it isn’t Jann S. Wenner

-Ulysses S. Grant

Bruce,

You know I love You.

I know all your songs by “heart”. I Absolutely LOVE “We Shall Overcome”

I don’t believe the rumors. Some “people” are misguided.

I hate HOLLYWOOD and REALITY TV

I Love the USA

I Love our TROOPS

I Love NEW YORK

However…

What good has Jann S. Wenner and his “civil war” done for anybody.

Listen to some music.

Think of ghosts…

Read the 1,000th issue of “rolling stone”

A) Entertainers have as much a right to their political opinions as goofballs on a blog or website.
B)Growing up with an abusive, belittling father in the lowest of middle class situations in an economically depressed part of Jersey does not disappear because you now live in a mansion on the hill. Of course things are now easier, but we all know our childhood never disappears.
C) The war (on America’s side)is about money, that is all. Not politics, beliefs, patriotism or any thing else. It is about cash.
D) Dick Cheney’s favorite song is First I Look at the Purse by J. Geils. He can’t stand the Motown version, too ethnic. Makes him think of the hired help.
E) Both men and women are equally capable of cheating. Men just get caught more often.

Guess that unsexy Pete Seeger album isn’t selling well…

Hey Boss… Why not go entertain the troops and give yourself come good PR?

He is an entertainer does this give him any right to use the stage that his audience pays for to express his political views? I would never pay another dime to go to his concert, I am paying to hear him sing not preach. When entertainers start influencing people based upon their personal views it is wrong. There are a lot of unintelligent people who think he really knows something because he is an entertainer! It is fascinating how are society looks up to entertainers for leadership and guidance. God help our society!

He plays guitar and sings songs and lives in a town that is nothing like the real world. Why doesn’t he move into the real world? Who really cares if he is having an affair and most of all who really cares what this guy thinks… He entertains people for a living. When he moves his family into a town that has real social issues maybe he will wake up. I wonder if he would like his daughter performing sexual acts as an intern in the White House like his buddy.

We are more concerned with the “The Boss” and his family then our men being killed in Iraq. People get your priorities in order!

i am 18 years old and i have the hots for bruce… come one bruce! i am young and willing!

Just got this news in little old New Zealand where the BOSS and the E STREET BAND played in March 2003….it went off, in the pouring rain….until Bruce and the Band stepped on stage , played ” Who’ll Stop the Rain”…and it stopped raining.!
Rocked for 3 hours non stop, and i don’t give a toss who he is with,,,,just tour here again please…soon.!

Who? What?

ok, then i guess the rumor that patti is leavin’ bruce for me isn’t true either. bummy

Famous or not, they are human beings and nobody is without flaws. We do not own or have a right to know their personal life. If one has enough time and energy to focus on the personal life of another human being, than I suggest that wasted energy be geared toward making a positive contribution to this somewhat less than perfect world. A small amount of anyone’s energy can feed, clothe, medicate or educate a needy person.

Sue them Boss!!!

Looks like Ann Coulter must have started the rumor. She loves going after 9/11 widows and anti-war activists…
Bruce…you had me at “Born to Run!”
I think Patti is the best thing to happen to you and I wish you all the happiness your music has brought us over the years. Please come back to LA with the E Street band–my sons love you too!

fury of woman scorned

grudge much?

His publicist probably started the rumor just to get his name in the headlines…any attention is good attention

I think they were refering to Chapel Beach Club in Seabright. Anyway, who cares about his personal life.

sameol’story must write for the Post.

sameol’story been a bitter, jealous nobody for centuries.

sameol’story’s at it again.

Always gonna be some sameol’story, always gonna be a NY Post.

Bruce is a friend of Bill Clinton. More power to him!

I recall Bruce and Patti getting quite intimate on stage during the “Tunnel of Love” tour. He was still married to Julianne at the time. What goes around comes around…

Years ago there was an editorial cartoon in The Daily News. It showed Post editorial staff telling their reporters to ask Mayor Koch if he was the father of Farrah Fawcett’s unborn child. All the while he’s salivating over a Post headline, Koch Denies Impregnating Farrah. Get it

the newspaper that backs bush went after the boss if i was bruce the lawsuit would be so big that the post would check all stories before they are publish what a sleaze will they also run foxnews bunch of lowlife cant wait for them to report how good the war in iraq is going good going W you dry drunk

who cares?…its about the music not the gossip..the ancient bitch Cindy Adams would slander the Pope to sell newspapers..fuck the NY Post….

…what else is new in this pathetic world of ours???
speaking from my heart a woman who was cheated on for “no reason except that she said yes”. men can’t keep it in their pants…
look at christie brinkleys husband. men simply can not be trusted. hell hath no fury as that of a woman scorned. remember that guys & remember mrs. bobbitt.
oh…and the woman that ran over her husband over & over again…
just like how he humped that woman over & over again.

THE BOSS IS ONE OF MY HEROES…I DON’T CARE WHO HE’S SCREWING…BUT I BELIEVE HE’S AN HONEST MAN. CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR A NEW E-STREET BAND LP W/ BRUCE, BY THE WAY…..

I believe Bruce…the media loves to print BS.

The whole story sounds implausible to me. It sounds like a smear. More swiftboating.

But who knows.

Who foking cares who the Boss pokes?

Its about Bruces MUSIC people NOT about his/Patti PRIVATE life!! Who CARES what Bruce MIGHT have done!!! Its between Bruce and his wife! How many people out their have done what he is accused of and WHO CARES!!!!

…anyone who’s knows the Springsteens personally, anyone who experience Patti at the schools their kids have attended, or those who have worked inside Bruce’s organization all know that Patti is a complete cold-hearted, ego-driven bitch to everyone but Bruce…it’s one of those cases where the guy is the nicest guy in the world married to the nastiest woman and no one understands it. Scalfa has little talent and is empty inside–she was determined to get him years ago and she did; he must put up with a lot living with her — somehow he still stays with her. Fascinating. Blind Boss?

Bruce is the absolute best and its none of anyone’s business what the hell he does in his personal life

The bigger question here is: Does anybody actually care???

He’ll cheat on his wife when Jon Landau and Dave Marsh tell him to. Dance, Puppet, Dance!

…and Bruce was also seen dancing in the dark with her up on Scrap Metal Hill near the darkness on the edge of town. Seriously, does the Post even READ what it writes?
