When I worked in Manhattan, one of my Jewish colleagues told me about a simple Saturday afternoon event she attended at her Temple. It was a social gathering with refreshments etc.

There was a little jazz combo performing in the back of the room where this event was being held. When she focused on them, she realized that Max Weinberg was the drummer! There was no sign, no fanfare...just Max and other musicians cranking out great jazz.

Max was great as the drummer on Conan's show. He's got talent and has a wonderful personality.

A good friend who's in the know, told me Springsteen donates a lot of money to charity in Asbury Park without calling the press. He gets props for that, and playing 4+ hour shows.

Beyond that, his faux "regular guy" act and his absolutely droll music on top of his hate render Springsteen the second leading cause of boredom in adults, behind televised golf.
