Springsteen Retraces His Heritage, Leads Irish Pub Patrons In Song Springsteen Retraces His Heritage, Leads Irish Pub Patrons In Song
Springsteen Retraces His Heritage, Leads Irish Pub Patrons In Song Bruce Springsteen wasn't about to play three sold-out nights in Dublin without retracing his heritage. He played tourist this week, visiting the church in Ireland where great-great-great-relatives were married, christened and more, while conjuring their ancestral spirits.

"You guys are all fired in the E Street Band, I'm hiring these people!" he told his new friends to raucous laughs at The Burrow in Rathangan. The Boss then trie…

Checkmark! New Jersey Celebs Regain Verification Status The reports of the death of the blue checkmark for these New Jersey celebrities has been greatly exaggerated.

Springsteen Tickets Going For Less Than A Soda At Some Venues Trouble in the heartland: That darkness on the edge of town might just be empty seats during Bruce Springsteen's current tour.
