It's probably for the best. I like The Boss, but the messaging in that ad was all wrong.

Good intent, lacking in self-insight...

Fame can lead people to think they can get away with lots of stuff. I hope he gets the help he needs to avoid putting the public at risk.

Sounds like that cop may have saved his life. Was he there alone or with a group? And if he was with a group, why would they let him drunk ride, of all things?

Last I read he blew a .02. That is 1/4 of "intoxicated". He might have been tired or sleepy, but not drunk.

More recent stories have more details, it's a pretty weird case. He was in a park, some fans wanted pictures with him, after the picture they offered him a shot of Tequila which he drank. Sounds like a cop observed this and as soon as he started riding his motorcycle pulled him over for DWI.

Bruce Springsteen was allegedly busted in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, when he pulled over to take pictures with fans — and then took a shot of tequila offered by one of them in full view of the cops, a music industry insider said.

The “Born to Run” icon, 71, had been riding his motorcycle on the peninsula on Nov. 14 when he “was spotted by fans who asked him to pull over and take some pictures,” according to a source close to Springsteen.

“Bruce stopped, took the pictures, then a fan offered him a shot of liquor, which he took, while sitting on his bike, which was stationary,” the source said.

“Park Police saw what happened and they immediately pulled Springsteen over as he drove away.”

If this is true, Springsteen’s lawyer will have this handled in no time at all.

I hope he sues the cop for lost income as a result!
