NORTH CAROLINA (USA): SPRINGSTEEN ADDRESSES DEATH PENALTY ON GREENSBORO STOP
March 19, 2012: Bruce Springsteen is coming to Greensboro, where he'll be doing more than playing his hits. The famous rocker is also lending his support to People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, a national group based in Carrboro.
Springsteen donated 4 tickets and side-stage passes for Monday's concert in the Greensboro Coliseum to the group, which sold them as a fundraiser.
The organization also will have a table to distribute literature at the coliseum and will collect donations and petition signatures.
Stephen Dear, the group's executive director, says Springsteen has given the group similar support at past concert tour stops in North Carolina. Among Springsteen's famous songs is the Oscar-nominated "Dead Man Walking," written for the anti-death penalty film of the same name. (Source: Associated Press, 19/03/2012)
