NEW YORK/NASHVILLE (Billboard) - In what promises to fulfill a classic rock fan's dream, Bruce Springsteen (news) says he and the E Street Band will play with John Fogerty (news) on the upcoming Vote for Change tour.


"We're gonna back John," Springsteen told Jay Lustig in Thursday's edition of New Jersey's Star-Ledger newspaper. "John's coming, he doesn't have a band right now, so we're gonna do our best for him."


Asked if he would be on stage for that part of the show, Springsteen said, "Are you kidding me? I'm going to be playing those John Fogerty songs. You better believe it."


The five shows they'll play together will kick off Oct. 1 in Philadelphia and also feature R.E.M (news - web sites). and indie rock act Bright Eyes on the bill.

2. I hope they release some of this as a "Live CD"

Some folks are born
made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
they point the cannon right at you.

It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.

Some folks are born
silver spoon in hand,
Lord don't they help themselves.
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.

It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.

Some folks inherit
star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them,
"How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"

It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no military son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.

It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no Fortunate Son.

4. you lucky, lucky person!

I was on Ticketmaster at 10 o'clock on Saturday, it said please wait less than two minutes, and then it said it couldn't find my tickets.

Anyway, they sent me a notice yesterday that I was eligible for pre-sale tickets, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp in Minnesota and Nevada or something.

I wanna see Bruce! :cry:
