O   There's a Rick Springfield song called "They Call Me Bruce",
O   but that's in reference to people confusing him with Bruce
O   Springsteen, who DEFINITELY does not act gay in any way.

Oh, Yeah!  Give old Bruce's lyrics a look-see sometime.  One particular song
that comes to mind is "Backstreets" off the Born To Run album.  I don't have
them with me, but they talk of an almost sensual relationship between Bruce
and someone ambiguously named "Terry."  Also, is a gay Bruce Springsteen SO
unlikely?  How old is the guy?  He's not married that I know of.  Also, he
frequently sings of alienation and other themes which I find I can relate
to (as a gay person, that is).  [Admittedly, that last sentence is something
to contend with, but I'm off now to an AT&T 1/2 price lunch.]
