Bruce Springsteen has written a letter entitled ?A Brief Statement from Bruce? in which the legendary rock singer declares his support for New Jersey?s gay marriage bill. The musician wrote ?Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I?ve been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton. I?ve long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, ?The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is ? a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.? I couldn?t agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.?
According to Comscore, Creed isn?t having the comeback that they were hoping for. First off, a comeback implies that people are rejoicing that you have returned. But when no one shows up, you might as well have just stayed home. At the past three shows that the returning band played in the New York and New Jersey areas, the venues did not even reach half the capacity. At the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, a venue with room for 25,277 people, only 6,841 people were in attendance. Now that is what you call one epic burn. Pack it up boys, you?re officially done.
The eldest of the Jonas Brothers, Kevin Jonas, recently got engaged and he is quick to open up about when he proposed to his long time girlfriend Danielle Deleasa. The singer had just returned to his native New Jersey from a show in Vancouver when he planned to pop the question on Wednesday morning. Kevin said ?It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world.? Danielle was thrilled as Kevin shared ?She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super fast in a row.? I believe in true love and all that but I sure hope he gets a prenup.
Bruce Springsteen recently announced that he and his ?wrecking crew?, the E Street Band, will be the final musical act before Giant Stadium in New Jersey gets demolished after the 2009 football season. If you are a fan of Bruce, you know that he is going to tear that show up. The rock icon has sold out 16 shows at that stadium and 44 shows at the nearby Izod Center. Three shows have been scheduled for September 30, October 2 and October 3. Tickets for the shows will go on sale on June 1. I hope they?re not selling on Ticketmaster. They?ve been screwing up sales for Bruce a couple of times now.
