Bruce Springsteen Performs the Rising at We Are One

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen talks about Obama and sings.

Bruce Springsteen To Play Convention?

Update 8-27: Well, it looks like he's not. 

Rumors are flying that he will but how could he not?
Springsteen's "The Rising" is always played at Obama's events and Springsteen is a big Obama supporter.

Wapo: Fueling the speculation: the Boss has a six-day gap in his tour schedule, with no public concerts listed between Aug. 24, when he's due to perform in Kansas City, and Aug. 30, when he's set to perform in Milwaukee.

And local radio and other news outlets are reporting the Boss buzz as fact. One of the Sleuth's colleagues heard a traffic reporter on a Denver country radio station warning drivers about the traffic woes when Springsteen shows up later this week.

The Las Vegas Review Journal also is reporting that Springsteen "will follow Obama with a solo acoustic performance on Thursday after Obama's acceptance speech."
