AT LEAST THE STAR WARS KID GOT AN I-POD OUT OF IT: If you live north of Durham and within 100 miles of the Atlantic Ocean, you have likely been afflicted by the Springsteen syndrome, which inhibits taste receptors and makes people think that bodybuilding, tight jeans, and saxophone solos are within the realm of acceptable social behavior. The disease quickly spread by airport and Newsweek and reached its peak in 1984 as a result of bad rock dancing and people too lazy or cynical to pay attention to the lyrics. If you were of a certain age then -- say, old enough to drive but too young to pay for your own car -- you may even have been moved by this terrible ague to film yourself lip-synching and dancing. You probably did not, however, become the first baseman for the Red Sox, and probably nobody you knew put your video on a jumbotron during a wild-card race. Download Kevin Millar's nightmare here.
