Bruce got a little confused at a concert in Michigan on Friday night:
The iconic rocker greeted his Palace of Auburn Hills audience Friday night with a hearty “Hello, Ohio!†– a reference he repeated several times over the next half hour before catching his mistake, with what appeared to be a whispered assist from guitarist Steven Van Zandt.
“I’m all right,†said the grinning Springsteen, who remained visibly self-conscious about the slip. “That is every front man’s nightmare.â€
Why is it always Ohio? (“Hello, Cleveland!â€) The Detroit Free Press reports that the show totally rocked and nobody cared about the mix up.
