Bruce Springsteen: Born to Limp

Just because I don't listen to Bruce Springsteen's music and think a good majority of it is crap, it doesn't mean that I don't respect the guy. He's just old as hell, and his half-time performance during Super Bowl XLIII proves that the ravages of time are in full effect on his America lovin', hot-dog eatin', New Jersey born body.

About half-way through his performance Bruce Springsteen attempts to perform his trademark knee-slide across the stage. Only he fails miserably. He limps like an 80 year-old chasing kids off of his lawn into the knee slide, and instead of gliding peacefully to a stop he slams directly into an innocent camera man and busts his knees on the end of the stage.



Now why is he limping and how is he able to get up and perform one and a half more songs? I'll tell you why: Bruce Springsteen has fake knees! And you know who else has fake knees? Old people. Now that could just be a coincidence but I on the other hand think it's a good example of why Bruce Springsteen needs to drop his guitar and go sit in a rocking chair on a front porch somewhere while yelling at teenagers for using cuss words. Face it. The glory days are over, buddy.
