News From The Rest of The Music World: “…who the hell doesn’t like Bruce Springsteen…?”
Monday, March 17th, 2008Below is an excerpt from an Associated Press story from last week in Brisbane, Australia. We’re posting it simply because it caught our attention. Even though we all know, people are passionate about their music….(And we also know that of course there were other issues….but what a breaking point.)
The headline is:
“Australian woman kills husband in fight over Bruce Springsteen”
Karen Lee “Cooper told police she had become fed up with (Kevin) Waston telling her what to do during their two-year relationship. On the night of the killing, she tried to play a Springsteen CD and he took if off the stereo, triggering a bitter argument.
“‘I mean, who the hell doesn’t like Bruce Springsteen, for God’s sake?’ Cooper told police in a record of interview presented to the court. “I just picked up a knife and I went ‘boom’.'”
(With no priors, being remorseful and pleading guilty, she was sentenced to eight years.)
