Springsteen, Bon Jovi to perform at DNC

[DogPoundPup]

DENVER, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are set to perform around likely Democratic Party nominee for U.S. president Barack Obama's acceptance speech, sources say.

Citing unnamed multiple sources, the Rocky Mountain News reported Tuesday that Bon Jovi will perform two acoustic songs before Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, makes his acceptance speech Thursday during the closing night of the Democratic National Convention. The speech is to be at Denver's Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium.

Springsteen has reportedly agreed to perform solo acoustic number after the speech to close out the night. The Rocky Mountain News said Nils Lofgren, a member of Springsteen's E Street Band, had earlier confirmed that backing group wouldn't be at Denver for the convention.

Who will McCain have .... ABBA?

1. WOOO HOOO!

Now if we could only get the Dixie Chicks, I'd be in HEAVEN.

[hexola]

2. The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive

baby we were Born To Run...

[DevonRex]

3. I reported this on Friday, heh heh. nt

[DFW]

4. ABBA is from Sweden

the Swedes hate Republicans.


He'd have to resurrect Frank Sinatra. Come to think of it, one corpse feting another. Why not?

[Perky]

8. Hey don't mess with Sinatra, One of the "coolest" singers ever,

in any generation... but I am completely down with Springsteen.

[YOY]

10. I think even Frank wouldn't like them.

Although I'd pay money to see the undead Ratpack...

[whatchamacallit]

12. Frank would probably support McSame, but I'd forgive him by the third note n/t

5. Word is now that this isn't happening.

Would love to see it. But I don't think it will happen. Makes no sense anyway for Bruce to come out after the speech and confetti and cheering. Total anticlimax.

Where is 'your word' info coming from?

[hexola]

7. Yeah AP - but "citing unnamed multiple sources,"

So - who knows...quoting Nils makes it sound a bit deductive...

[VWolf]

13. Correct. It's not happening.

Bon Jovi is holding a private party to raise $$$ for the NJ Dem party. Somewhere around $28k/person to get in.

Bruce will also be staying away. No idea what he'll be doing.

Heard this on WDHA this morning.

9. So?? McCain's got Yankee Daddy (did i get that name right?)

:eyes:

[whatchamacallit]

11. Springsteen - Yay! Bon Jovi - Puke!

I'm glad the Boss is representing, Bon Jovi... not so much. Don't get me wrong any dem artist is good by me, but BJ's simpleton-corpro-rock suxorz.

[VWolf]

14. Bon Jovi's later stuff isn't all that bad

Plus he gets extra credit for all his volunteer work building houses :)
