1. I love Michael McDonald
He's old school. They have Stevie Wonder, Will I Am, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, and others performing as well. Perhaps there will be an additional surprise too. :D

2. What is the skinny on music tonight?
Is there a whole concert after or what?

Did any Springsteen rumors materialize?

You dont know me but Im your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You dont know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things youre gonna do for me
I aint blind and I dont like what I think I see

Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in povertys despair
You, telling me the things youre gonna do for me
I aint blind and I dont like what I think I see

Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets
Takin it to the streets

9. Rumor is that Bruce Springsteen will follow Obama.
May just be a rumor, though.

12. Bruce homepage says "not" but - look at the huge gaping hole in his tour schedule
http://www.brucespringsteen.net/news/index.html

"Just to add to what the Obama Campaign stated earlier today, while Bruce is an ardent and dedicated supporter of Senator Obama, he will not be performing at, and, in fact, had never planned to perform, at Invesco Field this Thursday."

Yeah right Bruce!!!

http://www.brucespringsteen.net/live/index.html

Cant imagine its going be just Bruce solo - this will be his touring band.
