Cambridge Lines Up For Bruce Springsteen
A signed book and a quick photo with the Boss were more than worth the wait for these fans.
CAMBRIDGE, MA — Hundreds stood in line this morning outside The Harvard Coop, waiting to receive a signed book and to savor a brief moment with the one and only Bruce Springsteen.
The Boss was at the Harvard Square bookstore promoting his new autobiography, Born To Run.
The 1,000 available tickets to the event sold out almost immediately last month. Those proud recipients stood in line for hours Monday in order to purchase a pre-signed copy of Springsteen's book, and take a brief few seconds (and a picture) with the man himself.
