NEWS BAZAAR: POLS COMPETE FOR WHO'S THE BIGGEST SPRINGSTEEN FAN
St. Paul, MN, city councilor Kathy Lantry introduced a
resolution declaring 9/30 as "Bruce Springsteen Day in St.
Paul." Springsteen will be performing there that night. But
councilor Chris Coleman "wanted to amend the resolution to note
that he had attended" an '84 concert "in St. Paul at which the
Boss' 'Dancing in the Dark' video was filmed." Lantry "piped up
that she had been there, too." Coleman "continued": "Whereas,
Chris Coleman has been to 15 Bruce Springsteen concerts ..."
Said Lantry: "I actually kept my own name out of it. ..."
Coleman: " ... Whereas Kathy Lantry has desired to run away with
Bruce ..." Lantry: "That's right -- well, I want my husband
there, too." Council pres. Dan Bostrom: "I think we better vote
on this right now." The resolution then "passed unanimously"
(Duchschere, Minneapolis Star Tribune, 9/26).
