Springsteen And Bon Jovi To Perform in Denver For DNC Convention
Update: Despite all the news sources that reported a planned appearance by Bruce Springsteen at the DNC Convention, the Washington Post (8/26/2008) is reporting that they have been informed that “The Boss” will be nowhere near Invesco Field on Thursday.
The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that multiple sources have revealed to the newspaper that Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are scheduled to perform at Denver’s Invesco Field on the final day of the Democratic National Convention.
Bon Jovi is said to be coming by himself and will perform two acoustic numbers before Senator Barrack Obama 
delivers his acceptance speech on Thursday.
Springsteen is also believed to be making a solo appearance to close out that final day of the convention.
Both Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are well-known as Democratic activists and have lent their support to other Democratic candidates in the past.
Perhaps a lack of enthusiasm for Democrats or just politics in general might explain the absence of the other band members. Maybe they’re just busy with other activities.
The Rocky Mountain News attempted to contact Springsteen’s organization for comment, but their multiple attempts have not been successful.

Bon Jovi Rocks Australia And Talks Politics
Rumors have been swirling around recently regarding Jon Bon Jovi’s future and his alleged plans to get more involved in politics. Like so many others in the entertainment industry, he is a staunch Democrat and has been active in politics but denies he has any plans to become a politician.
Arriving in Australia to rock their fans in the land down under, Bon Jovi took a 
few minutes to talk with the media about his thoughts on politics.
Like so many others, he is not happy with the direction of the country during the Bush years and true to his Democratic roots, he plans to support a candidate from that party for President but will not reveal which one he as thrown his support behind.
No matter what is political leanings are, Bon Jovi the band is still hot in Australia these days. Having not performed there in about five years or so, Australian fans were anxious to snap up tickets to the show which sold out in 10 minutes. Some tickets were being offered on eBay for as much as $500.
It’s easy to understand why there has been so much speculation about a career in politics being the next big thing for Jon Bon Jovi since it appears to be a subject he is quite passionate about. Whether or not his denials about planning to get more involved are genuine or not remains to be seen.
