Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel team up for Obama Fundraising Concert

[MadBadger]

Jeez...I'm not disparaging her work for Obama, but just in comparison...this concert is going to be AMAZING! I was talking about the concert experience, not her work for Obama.

My two favorites....I wish I could go...or had the money to even think about going!


yhe Boss and the Piano Man are officially hitting the campaign trail.

On Tuesday, Obama donors were informed that Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel will join the Democratic nominee for his "last event in the Tri-State region before the election," at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

Please join us the evening of Thursday, October 16th for a very special concert with Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and other exciting guests! This is the first time that Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen will play the same concert!

Even in an election year with some historic "firsts," that's pretty notable. And pretty expensive: balcony tickets go for $500, "premiere" seats cost $2,500 per person, and lounge tickets go for $10,000.

1. You might want to modify your title. IIRC, Streisand helped raise $11M

in one night for Obama. Even if you don't like her, she's a good Democrat. Stop disparaging her.

2. Sounds like a dream ticket! Wish I could see it - but why praise them at the expense of

insulting another Obama supporter? We need all the help we can get.

3. um....Ms. Streisand has already done a fundraiser concert for Obama.

She's not my favorite performer, but she's a good, loyal dem--no "screw her" from me.

4. Why screw B.S.--she's doing her part, too.

5. uh, stupid post title. I'm no Streisand fan but she's raised

millions for Obama. Change your title.

6. See this is what I hate about posting online

People can never understand the way I'm saying something because when you post it, you cant tell what im putting the emphasis on.

7. Babs Is the Shit Fuck Off

Obama would kick your ass for talking crap about Funny Girl!

8. I love Barbra Streisand, AND the Boss, and the Piano Man!

I love them all!

This is sooooo cool! After Springsteen gets that big media focus for being selected for the 1/2 time show at the super bowl, he does this! Great PR! GoBama-Biden!

I'm feeling pretty good even if The 21st Century depression may have me losing most of what I have earned over the last 25 years.
