This is being billed as the first time Bruce and Billy played the same concert, but weren’t they both inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the same year (1999), and didn’t they both perform at it? (Yes, they did.)

The 1999 R&R Hall Of Fame induction was a private ceremony, not a public “concert” per se. So I hardly think that counts.

The country is on the brink of a depression and the Obama camp has a concert with tix starting at $500 a piece. Any wonder why we are in this mess?

They did perform together for “We Are The World” if that counts.

What a Joke: Trust me, the Republicans do this too. There was a $500/plate fundraiser in Dayton to meet Saint, sorry, Governor Palin! Do you really think you get $500 worth of food? At least the value for the concert would be a better deal.

Yes! Everybody knows rock & roll is NOT for Republicans anyway.
Let em have Country….it fits!

R’n'R Hall of Fame does not count because it’s not a concert in the sense of the word. “We Are The World” does not count because it’s not a song in the sense of the word.

,,,,,um,,,who is the president now,,,,,,oh yeah, that retarded monkey, Bush. Who started this trickle down BS, yup, another republicant. Who has thrown how many billions of dollars at a war no one wanted,,,,look no further than your own mirror, stupid.

If this is a Springsteen/Joel concert why do you only have a Springsteen pic up there? Also who will be opening up for whom? Who gets top bill? Hmmm…. should be interesting.

I thought Bruce was for the “WORKING MAN”?? I don’t know too many working people who can afford 500 to 10,000 for a ticket. Sounds like same old politics to me…MONEY RULES…..

Bruce is the most talentless idiot in the world who preaches that we should all hate police officers.

awww yes,,,,the wonderful police,,,,you know, the ones that shoot and kill young black men and get off with a slap on the wrist. Wake up dork,,,the police are not your friends.

Springsteen is the most overrated artist EVER…

where can I get tickets?

AGREED WITH JE$$E

I wonder how many empty heads will vote for Obama because of these two?

Scary to think about it..

I have to give credit to Bruce for one thing: he’s fooled people into believing that he actually has an ounce of musical talent. He’s the Britney Spears of Rock.

exactly Glenn..

bruce springsteen is not overated (he is awesome) U2 are overrated!

I don’t care what you’re politics
are, calling Bruce Springsteen the
Britney Spears of Rock is the most
asinine comparison I have ever heard.

Correction, “your politics”….
Springsteen has much better grammar.

rednecks for obama…
glen & jesse please feel free to join.
and New York borders Canada, therefore I am an expert in foreign policy.

Glen youre obviously a police officer or in law enforcement of some kind. You are one thing, an idiot. Youre an ignorant bastard. Youre family must hate you. Hang yourself and leave the world a better place. WITHOUT YOU.

I agree with Glen.
Finally someone thinks the same way about Springsteen as I do.
Its so obvious how much Springsteen WISHES he was Bob Dylan.

I am all for this concert. I by no means can afford to go, but it shows that famous musicians are not afraid to stand up for who they think is right for the job. More power to them for not staying all “hush-hush” about who they support so they don’t offend anyone.

It’ll be a great show and I hope it comes out on DVD sometime

Any word of Vedder joining the mix it is billed and friends. Stipe, Oberst, the Cougar, should be amazing.

How long before Springsteen is on American Idol??

Wow.
It s tough being a non-limo liberal fan of Bruce right now. It s tough to stand by the guy who wrote the soundtrack of your life as he once again decides to give so many of his loyal fans a gigantic middle finger.
Taking sides politically as a public figure is one thing ( Bruce has always been a lib) but actively campaigning for one side is a whole different ball game…

No Superbowl appearance will make up for the amount of fans you end up alienating, Bruce.

Some of these posts just absolutely kill me! I’m cracking up. Are you people fucking for real?!
Bruce Springsteen is the Britney Spears of Rock?- that statement is so stupid I barely have words for a rebuttal. Ok heres one: YOU’RE A FUCKING IDIOT. DON’T THINK. YOU’L HURT YOURSELF.
Umm. what’s next. Something about the police being bad. Where the hell did that have anything to do with this subject?
Je$$e- Springsteen should be on American Idol? You’re a moron. Shut your fucking face and watch more A.Idol.
Oh, and someone thinks U2 is overrated.
You people slay me, seriouly.

Hey Idiots..Bruce the new Spears????..this is why this country has voted a moron like Bush to 2 terms because of moronds like DRINKSLINGER77. I’m a little disapointed in Burce doing the Super Bowl, but have you IDIOTS ever looked into how much Bruce does for local food banks. Since 1978 Bruce has been doing everything he can to help out the homeless in every town he plays in. He takes care of the people at home before going around the world, he is leaving that up to BONO. Let’s have who ever we can afford the $500 to help elect a person to get us out of this mess. Hey raciest!!! vote McCain, hey Uneducated!!! vote for Palin. Those of you who want to wake up and join the rest of the world, vote OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Drinkslinger77 I’m sorry I didn’t mean to throw you in there..Glen Boyd your the idiot and I’m the Idiot for getting so pissed at such complete ass as yourself..

U2 and Prince had the best Super Bowl halftime shows ever.

what a godamned stupid thing to say! why dont you go smoke some more dope asshole!

Wow…Bruce has blown me away! After 30 years of related to the lyrics of his songs, my personal respect for him has changed…from Born In The USA to Badlands quickly!

I was planning to vote for Obama long before there was any celebrity endorsement … which, by the way, this isn’t. A fundraiser is not the same as something designed to CONVINCE you who to vote for. The people paying for this concert have already decided who they’re voting for. I must confess, however, that I’m proud to see that two of my favorite artists are doing something in support of the guy I like, even if I can’t afford this particular concert.

As for “empty heads” voting for Obama, seems like at least half the country is going in that direction in what appears to be a very close race. Man, that’s a lot of “empty heads.” LOL.

bruce has more talent then any musician u can think of, the point of a fund raiser is to raise funds, and the only reason you are mad about that is because your too cheap to buy one

it can only get better…. im from northern ireland….. give it a chance, bruce is up there with the best of them, he knows his stuff, im with him!! go obamha

All of you need to get a life…

Spring-stein is the dumbest human on the planet.Has anyone seen any of his interviews on TV? He has the IQ of an ass hair.His music oh his music I would rather listen to Paris Hilton.Who are all of you communists that voted
for Obama?Have you all heard of the Constitution of the United States of America.I’m not Republican,but Liberals have to be the most idiotic F@#K STICKS in the universe.Kiss your freedom goodbye hope the Boss is ok with no freedom of speech in 3 yrs.Way to go talentless Jack Ass

Oh by the way.Bruce Spring-Stein and Max Wein-stein-berg
should do a laxative commercial together .Bruce’s singing can be the consumer on the toilet trying to pinch one out.Then Max can say “Hea I can cure what ales you just take Obama-lax”
