Gotta love the Boss -- may stage concert during *'s convention address
The Boss vs. The Prez

Could Bruce Springsteen be plotting to rain on the Republicans' campaign parade?

Democratic operatives are buzzing that the Boss has been talking about staging a free concert somewhere on Sept. 2, when President Bush is due to address the Republican National Convention.

Besides getting out the vote, Springsteen hopes to provide "counterprogramming to the message the Republicans will be broadcasting," says a source.

A spokeswoman for Springsteen would only say, "There are no confirmed Bruce shows for 2004."

1. Max Weinberg worked his butt off for Kerry in Iowa and NH.
This has been in the works for a long time.

5. The only problem would be...
he'd never be able to do it in NYC (Central Park, etc.)...Bloomberg would NEVER give a permit on that date.

8. That'd be great, but
it wouldn't have the impact of diverting EVERYONE in the City up to the park while Chimpy is speaking...

11. Excellent idea. We need as much counter-activity as possible.
Concerts are a great idea.
