Barack Obama’s Latest Double Bill: Jay-Z And Bruce Springsteen?

The hip-hop mogul and the rock poet laureate of New Jersey are both playing free shows this weekend to encourage voter registration, as well as volunteerism for the Democratic Presidential nominee.

Hey, it’s not like either of the city’s baseball stadiums have much else going on right now (sigh). [Philebrity / MTV]
