Nobel Party or Springsteen? Not such a tricky choice for some

It's always tricky when you have two parties to go to and you have to choose which one to pick. Today was one of those days for Mona Sahlin (leader of the Swedish Social Democrats), who had to choose between the Nobel Prize party or the Bruce Springsteen concert in Stockholm.

So faced with being the dutiful politician or a simple rock chick, she went for rock chick...good for her. She is even getting a back stage pass...

To be honest, I'm not a big Bruce Springsteen fan, but my wife worships him and still keeps going on about seing him in Göteborg when she was a teen and that was over 20 years ago. I watched every single episode of Sopranos and never once realised Steven Van Zandt was the guitarist in the E street band. Even so I have to respect an artist who has had such lasting appeal as Springsteen and they don't call him The Boss for nothing.
