Springsteen Half-Time Show Sparks Piano Violence Outcry
Submitted by Northwest Harley Blog
The Piano Protection Society is an independent organization founded in 1958 by a group of piano lovers concerned with the plight of battered pianos. Today they held a press conference in London lambasting Springsteen and the NFL for yesterdays sad Super Bowl display of an ill-treated musical instrument! They are asking the public to boycott “The Boss” and bring greater community awareness to protect musical instruments everywhere against violence.
Every piano deserves a loving and responsible home!
The background is an otherwise magnificent Super Bowl was marred by an ugly incident during the half time show. The Boss looked straight into the camera Sunday night and proceeded to slam chicken-finger eating people everywhere and then made terse demands to crank the volume! Then the 59 year old performed a sort of crippled-leg-leap onto the piano — the moment was a bit dicey and had potential disaster written all over it, but proving why he is still “The Boss”, Springsteen recovered his balance and proceeded to dance, scar and gouge the lacquer finish of the piano with his steel-toe boots as thousands of fans gasped and millions watched on TV. Kids were horrified at the inhumane display of bombastic energy on that little Yamaha! Adding insult to injury the Yamaha had to endure gunpowder ash from the overtly expansive fireworks display. The malicious Springsteen was seen later laughing maniacally. After the 11:57 minute concert horrified fans could not even recall what songs Springsteen sang.

The Piano Protection Society is a charitable association with modern premises at 103 Norton Street, London. The facilities include an adoption centre, welfare services, information and products to keep your piano happy and healthy. Sadly, they will have to deal with this abandoned and ill-treated musical instrument.
Viewed by the piano society as self-incrimination, Marty Gelhaar, the keyboard technician for the E Street Band said,
“We’ve been around a long time and people are aware of the kind of ”work” we do,” Marty went on to say, ”Springsteen’s piano shows the scars of being on the road and being played for hours at a time during lengthy shows. That’s how “The Boss” rolls….
Let’s not even talk about the unprotected soap-on-a-rope swinging guitar and strap violence!!
