Bruce Springsteen to join Obama in Madison

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, Nov. 2, 2012

MADISON — Bruce Springsteen will be joining President Barack Obama for a rally in Madison the day before the election on Monday.

Obama's campaign spokesman Joe Zepecki confirmed Thursday that Springsteen will perform at the morning rally and introduce the president.

It will mark a return visit for Springsteen to Wisconsin's capital city. He also campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in Madison in 2004. That visit attracted about 80,000 people.

Obama's visit to Madison will be his third to Wisconsin over five days. He was in Green Bay on Thursday and he planned to be in Milwaukee for a rally with pop singer Katy Perry on Saturday.

Republican Mitt Romney was campaigning near Milwaukee on Friday.

Bruce Springsteen offered to campaign on behalf of Obama, he wasn't "brought in". I heard Romney had Meatloaf campaigning on his behalf in Ohio. Does that make him a right wing musician? Springsteen sang "Born in the USA" while Meatloaf penned "Making Love By The Dashboard Lights". It's interesting (and a little odd) that you consider Springsteen to be "left wing" musician. Personally, I think his music is just plain great.

Why does it seem that Barack Obama has to bring in all these left wing musicians in order to generate a crowd? It's a great photo op, but how many will be coming for the free concert, versus for him?
