Bruce Springsteen fan loses cancer fight


Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream tour was a dream come true for Shane Boyd Cowden.
The fact that the 32 year old Chatham man got to meet his idol and hear him perform live before he died offers comfort to his mother Colleen Boyd.
In Toronto the 2009 concert, which Colleen and Springsteen fans from around the world fought to get Shane tickets for, was the highlight of his life.
"After he was diagnosed (with cancer), it was on my bucket list for him," Colleen said. "That would be the top of the list."
She said her son, who died Tuesday, was autistic and had physical and developmental challenges.
Her battle to get him tickets to Springsteen's concert, after being told by Ticketmaster that there weren't any handicapped seats available, touched the community.
She was moved by the impact of the publicity and how fans from across the globe rallied to make sure Shane's dream came true.
"Usually someone with multiple disabilities is invisible," she said. "Everybody saw who he was."
Not only did Shane get to watch the concert, which kept him at the edge of his seat, he also met Springsteen before the show.

Bruce Springsteen might write autobiography


There's a rumor flying around that Bruce Springsteen might write an autobiography, and it could fetch a pretty penny.

Bruce Springsteen is said to be quietly working on his autobiography. Publishing insiders are already panting for the book -- even though there is no manuscript yet."It could be the biggest rock music autobiography of all time," said one insider at a major publisher, who did not want to be named. "He could get $9 million to $10 million for the world rights."

Night Three at Giants Stadium, Bruce Springsteen live blog


Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band began the third of their five Giants Stadium concerts at 8:25 p.m., with "Wrecking Ball." This song, divine by the imminent demolition of Giants Stadium, has opened all three gigs. "Bring on your wrecking ball," sang Springsteen, repeatedly, in a challenging tone.
The second song, "Out In the Street,"the always uplifting was a real crowd pleaser, with Springsteen bringing a young fan onstage to sing along with him.
During "Hungry Heart," Springsteen started running around the "pit" section of the stadium floor, as he has on other nights. But instead of running all the way around, he leaped into the crowd at the halfway point, and crowd surfed across the pit, all the way back to the stage. Unbelievable.
