The man rolled down his window, shouted 'We need you!' and drove on. It was the kind of moment, Springsteen says, that made his career worthwhile. 'That's part of my job. It's an honour to find that place in the audience's life.'Springsteen heavily researched and helped the Widows and people who were affected by 9/11 as well as sending proceeds from his Rising tour concerts to various 9/11 related charities. 501911@blogcritics.org Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:44:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/08/123207.php#comment-1314 Man, you could not be more wrong about The River. 1314@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Oct 2002 13:06:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/10/08/123207.php#comment-1313 Ouch!
