The Boss was is in town (Bruce)

LAKE PLACID, N.Y.(AP) His dad may have been born to run, but Evan Springsteen was born to kayak.

Well, maybe not. The 15-year-old son of rockers Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa had to be pulled from an Adirondack lake by forest rangers after his kayak overturned.

The incident occurred July 2, when the family was in Lake Placid, where the couple's daughter Jessica was competing in the resort village's annual horse show.

Officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation said forest rangers on routine patrol spotted an overturned kayak some distance from shore. When they pulled up, they spotted a teen in the water.

The rangers got the boy into their boat and took him to the rented lakeside camp where his family was staying.

The teen Springsteen wasn't hurt in the incident, which occurred while he was on an outing with friends.

A department spokesman said the 56-year-old rocker thanked the rangers for rescuing his son.

The Boss apparently has taken a shine to Lake Placid. My aunt used to own one of the big new homes on Mirror Lake Drive that were rebuilt from the ground up on the old Lake Placid Club property and Bruce rented it last summer and had quite the loud party, with music and all, played by the Boss himself, of course.

We might oughta keep a closer eye on the folks we pass on the sidewalks up there! You never know who you might see!

I hope none of the neighbours complained.

Can you imagine if all of a sudden your lean-to mate pulled out a guitar and started singing, and then you realized it was Bruce Springsteen. That would totally rock.
