Both Janice Joplin and Bruce Springsteen are both superstars in their own right, but their paths crossed on August 23rd, 1969. Joplin, who was 26 at the time, was playing two shows back-to-back at Convention Hall in Asbury Park. Springsteen, just 19 years old, had just rehearsed with his band at the time and went down to Convention Hall to watch Joplin's band. Joplin noticed Springsteen from the stage and was immediately attracted to him. She left the stage at the end of her set and grabbed Springsteen throwing her leg around him. Her manager urged her back on stage for an encore and Springsteen made his escape. After her encore, Joplin returned to the backstage area asking where was Springsteen, but he had fled, not interested in being another notch on Joplin's bedpost.
