Bruce Springsteen Will Not Give Barack Obama A “Dancing In The Dark” Moment

Rumors that Bruce Springsteen would formally give the Barack Obama Presidential campaign his blessing by performing after his acceptance of the Democratic Party’s nomination on Thursday in Denver are 100% not true, according to sources in the Boss’ camp. The story was that Springsteen would perform an unplugged song or two after Obama’s big speech at Invesco Field, and that he’d share the bill with fellow New Jerseyan Jon Bon Jovi. But “he’s definitely not performing nor attending and has never planned to do so,” one campaign insider told the Washington Post. Man, who’s going to fill the rumor void now? We still have two and a half days to go, and the stories about a new John Legend song aren’t really cutting it. [Post Rock]
