GREENSBORO, N.C. — Remember when tickets for Bruce Springsteen's latest tour went on sale in December, and all tri-state area dates were sold out within minutes?
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory claims that was not the case for The Boss's scheduled Greensboro concert — the April 10 gig he canceled in opposition to HB2 or the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act.
McCrory implied on the John Boy and Billy Big radio show Tuesday that Springsteen actually nixed the show not in support of transgender and progressive ideals, but in protection of his own ego — McCrory said only 8,000 tickets had been sold two days before he was scheduled to play Greensboro Coliseum, which would have held about 16,000 for the show, Politifact reports.

I enjoyed it when Brit Hume Called him Bruce Stringspeen.
Call in Iron Maiden to fill the gap. They put on a great show in Tokyo on April 29th. I understand that Bruce Dickinson is a Conservative and Nikko McBrain is a Christian. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 or so, but finally got to see them here in Tokyo for the first time.
Bruce Springsteen - he has a lot of good music and wrote a lot of great songs that others made famous, but he’s a total dick.
I did not know that...That IS funny!!!!
And I'm glad I met with your approval.
I heard that weeks ago, but my wife said she heard it was a sold-out show. Who’s lying?
