THE BEAT GOES ON
CINCINNATI - It’s not a good night in the Queen City for Bruce Springsteen fans. Cousin Brucie’s protege, Southside Johnny Lyon, has cancelled his show at Bogart’s rock club because of illness, and now the less-than-impressed-by-the-mystique-of-The-Boss Good Rats have volunteered to fill the Asbury Jukes’ scheduled date.

CINCINNATI - It’s not a good night in the Queen City for Bruce Springsteen fans. Cousin Brucie’s protege, Southside Johnny Lyon, has cancelled his show at Bogart’s rock club because of illness, and now the less-thanimpressed-by-the-mystiqueof-The-Boss Good Rats have volunteered to fill the Asbury Jukes’ scheduled date.
Some stooge in the audience has persevered in his original plan of wearing his Bruce Springsteen T-shirt to the show, and the Good Rats immediately pick up on this gratuitous advertising of their competitor—guitarist Mickey Marchello stops in mid-lick to yell, “Hey! Hey, what’s that guy in the Springsteen shirt doing with his Thing?” The spotlight moves in on the embarrassed offender of front-row ethics, and big brother Peppi Marchello adds, “Whatsa matter, kid? You got ‘Springsteen’ tattooed on your pecker, too?”
