Um, you've got the wrong state, Boss.

Legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen made an onstage geography goof Friday when he bellowed "Hello, Ohio!" to adoring fans at the Auburn Hills Palace -- in Michigan.

The "Born in the USA" crooner referred to the neighboring state several times before trusty E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt whispered their actual location into his ear.

It makes sense. Bands generally see the hotel and the stage. After so long it’s hard to remember one town from the next without looking at your schedule.

Bruce, put down the crack pipe and slowly back away from the stage.

Someone should tell him his career died around 1989.

Bruce Springsteen's 2009 tour has played to sold out arenas and has grossed millions of dollars. Bruce Springsteen's 2008 tour played to sold out arenas and grossed millions of dollars. Bruce Springsteen's 2007 tour played to sold out arenas and grossed millions of dollars. Bruce Springsteen's 2006 tour... Bruce Springsteen's 2005 tour...

He took 2004 off.

Bruce Springsteen's 2003 tour played to sold out arenas and grossed millions of dollars. Bruce Springsteen's 2002 tour played to sold out arenas and grossed millions of dollars.

Yeah, someone needs to tell him his career is dead.

Saw him at MSG last week. The old man still gives a very lively show.

We’re so glad that you’re a fan and that you’re glad he’s still got hanger-ons, like you. To the great majority of folks who followed him in the 1980s and earlier, his career is dead. We’ll agree to disagree, won’t we? Enjoy your next Boss concert.

I think it was Southwest Airlines - “Want to get away?”
I bet he did, too. :)
