Burton Cummings had a pretty bad car accident last month in LA and he’s still trying to get over the psychological aspect of it. He says he relives the accident when he sleeps and although doesn’t like the idea of going to a therapist, he says he’ll go willingly if it will help. Burton will get a SOCAN Lifetime achievement award this month.
Bruce Springsteen got a special Tony award last night for his “Springsteen on Broadway” show. He says it ranks as one of the most exciting things he’s ever done.
