The act of someone canceling an event, an event in which thousands of people (former fans) paid a large sum of money, and, or sexual favors to attend. Getting Springsteened can also refer to someone
ditching plans made with you after you already paid for it. Generally involves a musician whose ego is the size of the fucking
Hindenburg, caring little about the fans who have nothing to do with the
legislature they want to protest.
