Neither is Ireland, Mind you 1 Euro and 45 cents per liter of Deisel today. Double that of last year. Thats about $9 a litre..ish, sorry im moaning but its about 70 mile down to dublin and you cann feel the pinch these days.
Even with the exchange rate, 1 Euro and 45 cents is still a lot cheaper than what we pay for our gas. Also, diesel used to be cheaper than regular fuel for decades and now it's higher. So, Springsteen can leave the country and say America is not what it used to be without being boycotted like Natalie Maines, huh? America has changed then -- which is good.

I have three Springsteen albums, but I never did try to see him in concert. Due to the snippets I hear during Conan O'Brien, I'd be much more eager to see Max headline a show than The Boss.
