Sad, sad.

      the fact that he canceled it last night…means you shoulda reported it like everyone else LAST NIGHT

      He cancelled the concert only ONE HOUR before performance AND there were some people that came from Alaska just to see him and to make it in the lottery. 2 girls apparently saved up their money, flew to kc, AND were number 20, which means that they would have been up at the stage. Seriously, Bruce Springsteen has lots of fans, he should have still performed but he could have told the audience what had happened.

      Patti Scialfa roped the Boss while he was still married, then quickly got pregnant by him.

      I love the Boss, but I'm not so fond of Patti.

      Mario I email this to you before the other people were reporting. I was there. He cancelled 45 minutes before the show. His cousin died on the Country Club Plaza a very swanky place. People as far away as Canada was there. But we all understood. We rock out in courtyard to his music. Very sad! They are still here in town. Everyone were given refunds. Bruce thanked our City and said they would be back! Now that' going to be hard.

      I'm appalled that you can be angry with Bruce. I think it is honorable that he canceled the concert - shows he isn't all about the money. This only happened hours before the concert. I grew up with Lenny and Bruce was very close with him. You need to respect that he had a death in his family and back off. You should be grateful that you are alive and able to attend a concert and not be so damn selfish.

      I had a friend was a big baseball player
      Back in high school
      He could throw that speedball by you
      Make you look like a fool boy
      Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
      I was walking in, he was walking out
      We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
      But all he kept talking about was
      Glory days well they'll pass you by

      Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
      Glory days, glory days
      Well there's a girl that lives up the block
      Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
      Sometimes on a friday i'll stop by
      And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
      Her and her husband bobby well they split up
      I guess it's two years gone by now
      We just sit around talking about the old times,
      She says when she feels like crying
      She starts laughing thinking about
      My old man worked 20 years on the line
      And they let him go
      Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
      They just tell him that he's too old
      I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
      Metuchen ford plant assembly line
      Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall
      But i can tell what's on his mind
      Glory days yeah goin back
      Glory days aw he ain't never had
      Glory days, glory days
      Now i think i'm going down to the well tonight
      And i'm going to drink till i get my fill
      And i hope when i get old i don't sit around thinking about it
      But i probably will
      Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
      A little of the glory of, well time slips away
      And leaves you with nothing mister but
      Boring stories of glory days

      I used to love his music. I can no longer go to his concert because I do NOT want to hear his political views. It's like-shut the heck up and sing that is what we paid for.

      Horrible, to lose someone so young.
