More Springsteen Rumors

Hot on the heals of the false rumor that Bruce Springsteen dedicated "Born in the U.S.A." to Michael Phelps, comes a story that Springsteen delayed the start of his St. Louis concert because St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa was running late to the concert because of a rain-delayed baseball game. Turns out that rumor wasn't true either...the concert was delayed because saxophonist Clarence Clemons needed to see a doctor.
