Last night both Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel took the stage for Barack Obama at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The Daily News reports back that the two were "singing together for the first time ... to the delight of 2,500 people at the fund-raiser." The Boss told the audience to "Palin-ize" their expectations for the night, since the two had only rehearsed a little. Michelle Obama looked on from a balcony, as everyone was urged to "rise up and take back this country." The good seats cost $10K, and the likes of Anna Wintour and Harvey Weinstein were on hand, while Marc Jacobs-designed Obama tees were being peddled at the merch table. Joel invited his daughter Alexa Ray onstage and thanked "Sen. Obama for finally getting my kid into politics." Obama himself appeared on stage around 11:30 p.m., and warned the audience: "Don't underestimate the capacity of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Don't underestimate our ability to screw it up. I want everybody running scared."

I guess this was one of those events of a lifetime that I missed. I checked StubHub but didn't see any tickets that were reasonable.
"I checked StubHub but didn't see any tickets that were reasonable..."
How dare you even consider the cost when the messiah requires your $$$$. Beg, borrow or steal if necessary.
Anyway, nothing symbolizes "change" better than a couple of white male 70's re-treads trying to seem relevant and hip for their teenage daughters (and probably teenage girlfriends).
Yeah and nothing spells "change" like a 72 year old who has spent over twenty years in the us senate.
Ides your post are comical at this point. Why don't you just walk away from the keyboard. You're doing more damage to your boy McCain by opening you're idiotic mouth.

one way to get into these fundraisers is to do volunteer work for the event. though this one was small, I volunteered for the MSG 9/11 concert for firefighters.
