A Bruce 'brain snap'

Listening to CDs with a Springsteen fan has its risks:

The court was told the pair had been drinking at their rented home at Cedar Vale, south of Brisbane, on July 8, 2006, when an argument broke out over Cooper's choice of music.

Defence lawyer Greg Maguire said Cooper experienced a "brain snap" and ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, which she used to stab Mr Watson after he said he didn't want to listen to a Bruce Springsteen CD.

"I mean, who the hell doesn't like Bruce Springsteen, for God's sake?" she later told arresting police.

"I just picked up a knife and I went 'boom'."

The knife pierced Mr Watson's aorta and oesophagus, and he died at the scene.
