So, the hype is building up. In fact, last week, viewers were enable to download for free a song from Bruce Springsteen's upcoming album. On December 28, Amazon made available the download of "Life Itself" for free but only for a day.
Prior to Christmas, "The Boss" kept himself busy by giving a sort of Bruce Springsteen's 2008 Christmas show as he played with Jon Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Gary U.S. Bonds and Nicole Atkins at the Hope Show at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. Critics and fans agree that "The Boss" looks great and performing well 'jumping around the stage, leaping with the guitar, working all sides of the stage and smiling throughout.'
Springsteen has received a Golden Globe Nomination for the song "The Wrestler" in the category of Best Original Song - Motion Picture. "The Wrestler" is the title song of the movie with Mickey Rourke on screens now. So you never know "The Wrestler" might even be in the run for an Academy Award nomination.

Who would have thought? Bruce Springsteen competing against Beyonce Knowles and Miley Cyrus. Ok, I am not going to say anything. Nonetheless, Springsteen is no stranger to the Golden Globes.
