Bruce Springsteen will perform at a Saturday afternoon rally to benefit Sen. Barack Obama on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the Obama campaign has just announced. The Boss will play between 20th and 22nd streets. Gates open at 2 p.m. with the rally to begin at 3:30. Preferred tickets go to Obama campaign volunteers who visit one of his local campaign offices starting at 10 a.m. tomorrow. General admission tickets are to be available by clicking here, though as of yet there is nothing posted to the page. The address was provided by the Obama campaign.

These are the "times that try men's souls" as they say. So get on out there and support whichever candidate you choose. More power to you Bruce - you chose wisely! Unless of course you'd prefer an arrogant, headstrong "good old boy" and his trusty clueless sidekick. My 10th graders know more about foreign policy and politics than she does!

There was some sort of tribute to Linda on a recent awards show. She's a continent. It took her a long, long time to waddle onto the stage.

Actually Sawgrass it's called taxing the rich to benefit the middle class, they can afford it.

Patrick M. Well done. It's not often you get to reference an Adam Ant song in conversation, but let me tell you, there's nothing finer. Not the taste of good liquor, not the touch of a woman (you didn't pay to touch you) and most assuredly not the copy printed in this column.

Phil, that should be '...can't get ANY black people...'. Even Dan gets his grammer correct.

How come Philly can't get no black people to play? Maybe put in a call to MC hammer?

Rorsach. Since Ant came on board, the cashiers get pumped up before each shift to, "Stand and Deliver".

I hear Nader secured Adam Ant for a fundraiser. It took a while, but Adam Ant's manager finally gave him the afternoon off. Denny's...a tight ship of delicious breakfast.

an ego maniac like springsteen having a concert for another ego maniac. Springsteen and Joel are having a $500 to $10,000 dollar a ticket concert in NY for Obama. There you go that will attract the middle class!
