NORTH CAROLINA:
Rock Star To Host Death Penalty Group At N.C. Shows
When the "Boss" comes to North Carolina next week, he will not only be
performing but taking a stand on a controversial issue in the state.
For a 3rd time, Bruce Springsteen is hosting People of Faith Against the
Death Penalty during his solo tour stops in Charlotte on Sunday and
Greensboro on Tuesday.
At his concerts in Charlotte and Raleigh in 2000 and again in Chapel Hill
in 2003, Springsteen dedicated songs to the North Carolina-based group and
suggested that audience members get involved with it.
For decades, the rock star has been almost as famous for his political
activism as he is for his music.
