The legendary night club in New York City, the Bottom Line, recently announced that it was about to turn the key due to trouble with the economy. A campaign to save it has been going on for a while with lots of people from all over the world signing a petition that hopefully will result in the landlord, New York University, finding a solution that will allow the club to remain open. Most recently none other than Bruce Springsteen supported the petition with the following message to the campaign organizers:

"Over the last 20 years, the Bottom Line has made itself a central part of New York City culture. When I think of the most memorable nights in my own career, few match the week of shows we did there in 1975. As a musician, as a citizen, and as one who loves New York City, I truly hope that a solution can be found that allows the Bottom Line and Allan and Stanley to continue their important, valuable work for many years to come. Bruce Springsteen, 10/20/03".

The shows Bruce refers to are his famous stand in August, 1975, that played a central role in breaking his name in the US. You can support this cause by checking out www.savethebottomline.com
