Bruce Springsteen read a fan's request during his Sunday night concert in Pitttsburgh that hurled an insult at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Stepping up to the microphone at Consol Energy Center, Springsteen said: "Someone gave me a copy of the Constitution of the United States. It does say 'F--- Trump' on the front of it. And this was his request," he said.

Springsteen proceeded to play an acoustic version of "Long Walk Home," a track from his 2007 album, Magic.

This wasn't the first time Springsteen was handed a copy of the Constitution. A similar thing happed at the United Center in Chicago after The Boss went crowd-surfing, and a fan slipped one in his pocket.

Oh, how I hope YUGE! Boss fan and Trump toadie Chris Christie was there.

1. Christie was not there.

He apparently has taken residence in Trump's colon with an adjacent room to his left kidney.

3. Christie loves Springsteen but the feeling is not mutual.

For one, I don't imagine the Boss agrees with Christie that marijuana smokers deserve 10 year mandatory minimum prison sentences.

8. No shit it isn't mutual.

It's like if Stalin were alive today, he'd look at at Trump and and say "This fucker is crazy"

2. I love Bruce.

I remember how he played the "vote for change" concerts back in 2004 with other progressive acts like R.E.M., Conor Oberst, etc.

7. My brother and sister-in-law went to one of those concerts

(or maybe just one of his concerts in 2004)

He pulled some guy out of the audience on to the stage. The guy was holding a Bush sign and Bruce started yelling "Cast the demon out! Cast the demon out!" and put his hand on the guys head. Which inspired the guy to tear his Bush sign in two and yell "I'm saved!"

I'm sure it was a lot more fun to see than my description of it is.

4. I love Bruce!

There is a great article on him in Vanity Fair this month. The magazine that is edited by Trump's arch enemy Graydon Carter, btw.

5. "We're gonna make the Boss great again!"

"See? Bruce isn't the only guy who can call himself the boss! I am the boss! I am the boss of all bosses! That's why we are going to make Springsteen great again, OK?".

6. Has he gone on record as disavowing CHRISTIE - I think he has but CRISTIE doesn't mind being snubbed
