Hey gang --

Everyone's getting all worked up about things, but if you read Tuesday's
Wire with a smile on your face you will probably end up laughing
hysterically at the turn of events! Too funny!

Anyway, interesting comment on U2's plans from this article below about
the upcoming Springsteen/E Street Band tour.

Later,

Springsteen regroups E Streeters for tour

By Adam Sandler
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - The long-rumored Bruce Springsteen reunion tour
with the E Street Band became a reality Tuesday with the singer's manager
confirming a roadshow next summer.

Jon Landau said Springsteen intended to embark on a worldwide tour which,
industry insiders said, was being positioned with promoters mostly as an
arena tour.

No dates or venues have been set, but Springsteen is expected to do
between 40 to 60 Stateside shows with a relatively low ticket price of
around $55.

A Boss roadshow is good news for the concert industry as it could be one
of only a trio of high profile tours in the marketplace -- rivaled only
by Madonna and U2, the latter expected to hit the road in late 1999.
