springsteen, rem, fogerty rock opening night of "vote for change" tour
Bruce Springsteen and R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe stayed on message from the time they took the stage Friday night: Vote John Kerry on Nov. 2. The rockers joined an assortment of performers across the country Friday night in kicking off the "Vote for Change" tour in Pennsylvania, a 10-day series of concerts in battleground states aimed at helping oust President Bush.
Springsteen, in Philadelphia, opened with a solo version of "The Star Spangled Banner," then a rousing rendition of his anti-war anthem "Born in the U.S.A." "America is not always right - that's a fairy tale you tell your children - but America is always true, and it's in seeking this truth that we find a deeper patriotism," Springsteen told cheering fans after endorsing Kerry, a Democrat.
