Will the real Bruce Springsteen please stand up?

That’s what local Springsteen stans asked after a puzzling billboard went up at Live! Casino in South Philadelphia that welcomed Bruce Springstein — yes, you read that right — to Philadelphia.

Journalist and Springsteen chronicler Stan Goldstein posted a photo of the typo on X that has been viewed more than 145,000 times.

The message was also spotted by Jon Wurster — the Bucks County-born drummer (The Mountain Goats, Bob Mould Band, Superchunk) — who posted the typo to Instagram on Monday. “Tired of people saying Philly doesn’t put in the work,” Wurster captioned the photo, which has since gone Philly viral.
