Washington
(ANI):
American
singers
Bruce
Springsteen
and
Billy
Joel
are
teaming
up
for
their
first
joint
concert
that
will
benefit
Democratic
presidential
nominee
Barack
Obama.
Springsteen,
also
known
as
The
Boss,
and
Joel
will
be
holding
the
concert
in
New
York
City
this
month,
with
the
price
of
the
tickets
starting
at
500
dollars,
and
climbing
to
10,000
dollars.
Obama
will
be
attending
the
musical
fundraiser
at
Hammerstein
Ballroom
on
October
16,
a
day
after
his
final
debate
with
John
McCain
at
Hofstra
University,
which
is
located
several
miles
outside
the
city
in
Hempstead.
After
the
news
about
the
concert
was
made
public
on
September
30,
the
Republican
National
Committee
just
could
not
help
but
make
fun
of
it,
at
Obama's
expense.
"While
John
McCain
is
working
to
bring
Republicans
and
Democrats
together,
Barack
Obama
was
working
to
bring
rock
stars
together," Fox
News
quoted
RNC
spokesman
Alex
Conant
as
saying.
"A
good
duet
is
no
substitute
for
a
good
job,"
he
added.
