Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters Rock New York for Wounded Veterans
Bruce Springsteen is a man of many talents, though stand-up comedy is most definitely not one of them. But as the final performer of the annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit last night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden – which also featured Roger Waters and short sets by comedy superstars Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and Jim Gaffigan – he was unable to resist the urge to tell a few jokes. “I’m puzzled,” he said. “This is a night of comedy with soldiers in the audience, but the entire night went by without anybody telling any dirty jokes? I can’t let that happen.”
