The Boss steers clear of headliner’s spotlight

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Nightwatchman, the folkie-political songwriting alter ego of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello, had a couple of notable guests during his gig Thursday night at Smith’s Olde Bar in Midtown.

Bruce Springsteen, who’s in town recording with producer Brendan O’Brien, was spotted at a side table in the venue with O’Brien, who also produced Morello’s recently released album, “One Man Revolution.”

“We brought them in the back door,” Nolen Reeves Music rep Melanie Blake told Buzz on Friday. “It was all very low-key. He wasn’t a rock star at all. He was just there to hang out and catch Tom’s set. Everyone was hoping he would get onstage but he seemed really content watching Tom do his material.”

Amazingly, Springsteen, sporting a ball cap, went largely unnoticed in the jam-packed club. The Boss was also spotted backstage in a small room having a chat with the evening’s headliner.

As for the obvious, Blake said: “Every one of the Smith’s staff who got to shake his hand was completely thrilled!”
