Springsteen Concerts as Campaign Fundraisers: Dancing in the Dark
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyA lobbyist's job is to influence the legislative process in favor of his or her clients' interests, a charge accomplished by writing position papers, drafting sample legislation, meeting with members of Congress and their staffs -- and, oh yes, contributing great piles of money to campaign funds of elected officials. Several lobbyists presumably fulfilled the last task to the tune of "No Surrender" at two sold-out Bruce Springsteen concerts in DC a year ago. Agents representing special interests attended at least 19 fundraisers hosted by lawmakers at the concerts. How much money did they ...
Michelle Obama, Hanging Out With Bruce Springsteen
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyToday's Daily Flotus quiz question (this is the first of what may be an occasional feature) is: Which artist sat next to First Lady Michelle Obama at the 32nd Annual Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Sunday night? Your choices are limited to the honorees at the splashy star-studded show, a major yearly intersection of Hollywood, Broadway, all forms of music and Washington. ...

Jon Corzine in the latest poll of the New Jersey race with Christie leading 43 percent to 40 percent with 14 percent for independent Chris Daggett and 2 percent undecided, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted Oct. 5-7.The margin of error is 4 points. ...
Bruce Springsteen Played the Halftime Show for Free
By Shane Bacon - AOL NewsSunday's Super Bowl had it all. Incredible performances by both the Cardinals and Steelers, two late-game drives that made you realize why football is so great and even a little crotch bump by Bruce Springsteen. How much did NBC and the NFL pay The Boss for his singing and camera tap? The exact same amount as you and I made for our vocals. Zilch. "Now I've learned that the stunning performance by Springsteen at the Big Bowl came on the cheap. Make that very cheap," Brooks at Sports By Brooks reported. It turns out Springsteen didn't charge the NFL one dime for his performance, though the NFL ...
Bruce Springsteen Slides Into Camera During Super Bowl Halftime Show
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsBruce Springsteen's Super Bowl halftime performance, as I noted last night, was fairly uninspiring. But at least, since the rest of the country couldn't see any crotch shots in the middle of the game, Bruce obliged on that count, doing his classic slide across stage. As you'll see in the video below, it resulted in a much-talked-about close-up.Video via the Piler, and don't click that pop-up ad at the end for whatever reason. ...
Wildest Super Bowl Ever Lathered in Steeler Cool
By Jay Mariotti - AOL NewsTAMPA, Fla. -- We don't watch Super Bowls for the chip dip, as Bruce Springsteen wisecracked during his 12-minute party. We crave the emotional bull rush, a crescendo finish, the natural high that Michael Phelps finds in a marijuana pipe. The big game used to bore like a 4 a.m. infomercial, but Sunday, it delivered again, like last year, hijacking our senses with head-banging, back-and-forth drama that even might have thrilled The Boss, the rocker who hates football. ...
Bruce Springsteen Halftime Show: Three Classics and an Unknown
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsThere was plenty of hype coming into Bruce Springsteen's Super Bowl XLIII halftime show performance, as he said he wanted to have the "greatest Super Bowl halftime show ever." That's a little bit tough to achieve considering that both Prince and Tom Petty killed in recent years -- not to mention that we all saw one of Janet Jackson's unmentionables a few years back. (Not that that was "great", but it was still something.)But all told, The Boss was still, well, The Boss.The first song, "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," was a good choice, even if it was a little awkward that he decided to talk for a ...
Bruce Springsteen's Super Bowl Set List Leaked in Advance
By Tom Mantzouranis - AOL NewsThere's more advance hype about this year's halftime show, featuring Bruce Springsteen, than I can remember in recent Super Bowls, even as the spectacle around the game/event itself has taken a hit. Part of this is due to the Springsteen marketing machine going all-out in an effort to promote his new album, but as a Jersey boy I can attest from great experience that The Boss just inspires passion in people.People are talking about the show so much, in fact, that early word on Springsteen's setlist has been a hot commodity. And now it has apparently leaked.According to SportsbyBrooks, we can ...
Bruce Springsteen Knows Absolutely Nothing About Football
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsBruce Springsteen is America. Right? I mean, the guy wrote "Born in the USA" and he's probably from a small town. Grew up there. Gonna die there. Oh ... right. Sorry. Anyway, Bruce is all about these here United States. So it would make sense, theoretically, that he's a football junkie (I'd have him pegged for the very obvious "Giants fandom" selection, personally.) Turns out, though, that he knows nothing about football. Nothing!"If there's going to be a lot of questions about football, then this is going to be the shortest press conference in history...because I don't know anything" about ...
The Super Bowl Prop Bet 13 Step Program: Day Two, The Audible
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsSuper Bowl Prop Bets are as American as your mother and as addicting as, um, stuff. Will Brinson's got a program for your all-American fix.I know what you're thinking -- there aren't any prop bets hanging out there right now, are there? You're right. It's annoying, especially when you're trying to build a 13 step recovery dereliction program for gambler. In order to find out why the hell this was happening (WHERE. ARE. MY. PROP. BETS???) I emailed the incredibly astute R.J. Bell of Pregame.com to find out what the deal-io was. His answer? But, like every good addict gambler, I know how to ...
