Springsteen tribute artists announced

So, it took some faith for people to buy tickets to a tribute show without knowing any of the performers but, now that the list is finally out, you can see if you actually got some value for your money.

A refresher: Celebrating the Music of Bruce Springsteen - Music for Youth Benefit Concert, Thursday, April 5, 2007 at 8:00 PM

Guest Artists: Bruce Hornsby, Jewel, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Josh Ritter, Pete Yorn, Steve Earle, The Holmes Brothers, Joseph Arthur, Kristin Hersh, Robin Holcomb, The Bacon Brothers, and others to be announced

Well...Hornsby? Babyface? The Bacon Brothers? Um, ok. Steve Earle I can understand -- he's a huge fan. There is a passage in his bio that has him backstage freaking out because Springsteen is in the audience and wanted to meet him. A daunting proposition for two reasons: Earle had just performed State Trooper and he was high as a kite...

The only thing missing is Manfred Man...Can I have crappy covers for $200 Alex.
