 Springsteen in Philadelphia In a letter addressed to friends and fans posted his Web site, Springsteen said he believes Obama is the best candidate to undo "the terrible damage done over the past eight years. He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next president," the letter said. "He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where '...nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone.' "
The bard of New Jersey is known for his lyrics about the struggles of working-class Americans, particularly in the economically ravaged factory towns of the Northeast.
Springsteen and his E Street band were part of the Vote for Change tour, a coalition of musicians opposed to the re-election of President Bush in 2004. He wrote the anti-war ballad "Devils and Dust" about Iraq.
Springsteen did not directly mention Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, in his letter, but appeared to take issue with her recent criticisms of comments made by Obama about working-class voters in small towns in Pennsylvania and controversial statements by his pastor.
"Critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships," Springsteen wrote. "While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man's life and vision ... often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment." |

 John McCain "No one likes getting old. You forget things..., easily get confused..., contradict yourself..., have trouble remembering where you are..., fall asleep in a in inappropriate places..., and you start to hardly resemble the person you once were.
"And that's why you need 'the age card'. It lets people know that they should take it easy on you, or maybe attempt to spin your age into something positive like 'having experience' or 'being adorable'. It tells people you're slow. crotchety, and are frustrated easily.
The 'age card' is available wherever things for old people are sold. So stop by your local drug store... |

 Tina Fey & Amy Poulter Palin: "Good Evening my fellow Americans. I was excited when I was told that Senator Clinton and I would be addressing you tonight."
Clinton: "And I was told I'd be addressing you alone."
Palin: "Now, I know it must be a little bit strange for all of you to see the two of us together what with me being John McCain's running mate."
Clinton: "And me being a fervent supporter of Senator Barack Obama, as evidenced by this button..." |

 Find Your Groove Darling developed his style in part through his use of a solid-bodied, eight-string electric cello and introduced electronic effects into his playing with the use of an echoplex and other devices. Although he turned increasingly to classical composition after 1978, he played with Spiro Gyra in 1980. The following year he formed the band Gallery and recorded with Glen Moore and Ralph Towner. He later worked in a duo with Terje Rypdal. Darling does not label his sound as New Age but describes it as music "that doesn't have the busyness of progressive jazz, that has a meditative quality."
Born in Elkhart, Indiana, Darling studied cello and music education at Indiana University, from which he graduated in 1965. He taught for four years before joining the Paul Winter Consort. |
