Bruce Springsteen Free Show 10/6-EMU Stadium

Hot off the Press folks (announced at 6:02 am today)

The Boss will play a free acoustic show at Oestrike Stadium at Eastern Michigan University this Monday. Gates are at 3 pm and the show is expected to occur at 4:30 pm This is being billed as a rally for Barack Obama, our next president (my words)

I had the opportunity to see the Rock the Vote show when it came here in 2004. They hit 11 states in 11 days. Gov Grandholm and Sen Carl Levin were in my row. Yes, the Update does have his privileges LOL. If you recall this event, there were shows going on simultaneously in our state. Some got Neil Young. We got Springsteen and REM

Anyhow, Bruce Springsteen at a political rally is not going to be your boppy dancefest. But, for those of us that want to feel the true grit of this country, an acoustic Bruce Springsteen is a must. I would expect him to play a lot of the Nebraska album along with something he may have penned just for this run. He actually worked some of the material he wrote on the Rock the Vote run into his show repetoire.

So, come out and support Barack Obama and get some great music at the same time.

Come join and add shows, show revues, MP3's and comments . If you have a band or know a band that you wish to spotlight and the band plays in the 313, 248, 586, 734 and 810 area, sign up and share the love.
