First the fucked up new.......

Karen Lee Cooper told arresting police she was sick and tired of Kevin Lee Watson telling her what to do during their two years of living together.

``I couldn't even play Bruce Springsteen on my stereo...can you believe that, can you believe that?`` Cooper told police.

She repeated her claims in a formal police interview when she said: ``I mean who doesn't like Bruce Springsteen? I am 49 years old and I want to play my own music.``

In the Supreme Court in Brisbane today, Cooper, 50, was jailed for eight years after pleading guilty to Watson's manslaughter on July 8, 2006.

In related news, Springsteen was amazing at Nassau Coliseum. At the show, we had general admission tickets and we happen to be standing right by this dad who took his two young sons to the show. The younger of the two, who was probably 12, seemed to be enjoying himself, but the 15 year-old looked absolutely miserable. The old brother was a total alterna-teen. The long hair, the glasses, the hoodie. He didn't smile once. Never clapped. And starred at the floor for most of the show.

The sad thing is I know that kid, not literally, but I was him. I get it. When I was fifteen I thought Bruce Springsteen sucked. Fuck Born in the USA! But then I discovered Nebraska, then Asbury Park, then Darkness, and so on. And I'll put money that in fifteen years that kid will be bragging to his friends how he saw Bruce back in 2008 and it was awesome cause it was..........
