Bruce Springsteen Performs at Stand Up For Heroes

The 18th Annual Stand Up For Heroes benefit, hosted at Lincoln Center in New York City, raised nearly $30 million for the Bob Woodruff Foundation to support wounded veterans. The event featured performances by Bruce Springsteen, who delivered a four-song acoustic set with songs like 'The Power of Prayer' and 'Long Walk Home,' along with comedic sets from Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, and others. Although the show is typically non-political, some performers referenced the recent presidential election, with Stewart humorously critiquing Kamala Harris's campaign. Springsteen's jokes were described as more PG-rated this year, with one of his highlights being a pun about a bakery. The evening also included music from Norah Jones and DJ Questlove, creating a heartfelt atmosphere amid post-election uncertainty. Overall, the event was a blend of music, humor, and a message of support for veterans.
