Spreading the word
Published 2006-08-29
Again, as a lot of you already know, Bruce has personally denounced rumors that he and Patti are separated. Yesterday, in a rare move, he published a statement on his official website assuring the public that he and Patti are as committed to each other as they have always been. Hopefully that will put the speculation to rest, but then again, maybe not. The statement is already being dissected by fans who have noted that he doesn't say outright that he loves Patti. I call that nitpicking. Those are words on a screen. No one who's seen the two together in real life, whether on the street or on stage, would ever get the idea that there's anything wrong with their relationship. The only "evidence" we've seen so far, is what some anonymous sources allegedly has told New York Post, which is the kind of newspaper that doesn't usually let truth get in the way of the temptation to sell a few more copies. So let it rest, if nothing else for the Springsteen kids' sake.
