Double dose of Bruce juice.

Extremely hard to imagine Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performing at the Super Bowl XLII halftime clusterf*ck. Too scripted, unnatural ... phony. If anyone can maintain their integrity in front of over a billion TV viewers, however, it's Bruce and the heart-stoppin', pants-droppin', earth-shakin', love-makin', legendary E STREET BAND!

And though they've never shared a billing, it's easier to imagine Springsteen and Long Island's favorite son Billy Joel performing at a Barack Obama fundraiser in Manhattan on Oct. 16. Bruce announced his support of Obama's campaign many months ago, and apparently the feeling is mutual:

"Not only do I love Bruce's music, but I just love him as a person," Obama said last June. "He is a guy who has never lost track of his roots, who knows who he is, who has never put on a front."

Another reason to support Obama/Biden '08.
