Yeah, they are about due to arrest some other celebrity so that we can keep the tabloids in business. What about Bruce Springsteen? Can't we bring him in for something? Love his music but that guy is so obnoxious. Maybe they'll let him do some acoustic recordings in prison. Call it Nebraska II.
Speaking of celebrities and Bruce Springsteen -- the other day I had the pleasure of meeting Meat Loaf, of "Bat out of Hell" fame and "Eddie" in the cult movie "Rocky Horror Picture Show." We talked politics briefly, and he said he was bummed to learn that his kids had voted for Democrats: "All the Democrats want to do is raise taxes," he said, then lamented Springsteen's political rantings, saying Bruce should just pay for everybody's taxes if he was all that fired-up about "paying his fair share."
Meat, as he is called, was an absolutely WONDERFUL man. Great sense of humor, not a tattoo on him that I could see, no earrings, no ponytail -- no "gimmicks," in other words. Just a very cool guy. Springsteen should take lessons from him.
