Springsteen ticket uproar. "We're being taken for a ride, again" but that was Talking Heads lyrics, not Sringsteen.

The uproar has reached DWT. A websearch.

But the man with the voice of the common man, the racing in the streets down by the river guy, Mr. State Trooper, please don't stop me, has back in 2016 allowed himself a little luxury with the likes of Geffen on The Yacht, rubbing elbows with entertainment elite;  with songs of woe and hardship aside - good weather: betcha great food. Perhaps blinded by the light, but heart still in the right place - with us?

Gang's all here: Geffen had some of the Democratic party's biggest supporters on his yacht earlier this year, including Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey and Jimmy Iovine (l to r: Rita Wilson, guest, Patti Scialfa and Bruce Springsteen, Gayle King, Nancy Shevell and Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Geffen, Roman Abramovich's wife Dasha Zhukova, Jimmy Iovine and guest)

Ticket woe can and perhaps may be resolved, but this still is not as expensive as a Biden fundraiser, and you get more than your pic taken with an old goat. You get entertained. Perhaps Biden fundraisers offer something more tangible over time, but you or I would never know, and we do know the Boss and band can rock.
