Concert Review: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Atlanta, GA
There are a handful of acts that certain music lovers yearn to experience in their lifetime. The Beatles. The Rolling Stones. The Doors. The Clash.

Reggae Star Jimmy Cliff Snubs UK Leader
Reggae singer Jimmy Cliff won't be giving U.K. Conservative leader David Cameron his vote despite the party using one of his hits recently.
The Jamaican musician, now known as Dr. Cliff, was amused to have his song You Can Get It If You Really Want played after Cameron's speech at the Tory party conference in Blackpool, England on Wednesday - but he said he is not a fan of the party.
He says, "I've never voted in my life. But I'm from the lower class of society and I tend to support them rather than the upper class. It's not that I don't have friends or family in the upper class...
