Springsteen can pay his $500 fine off in 3 minutes by my reckoning. Home of the Brave, Land of the Free.
The Boss's fine?

He's owned up, and avoid his fine. How terrible.

Avoid or paid?
I’m not really sure what the story is here, he had a couple of Snifters in a park which appears to not be allowed, got caught, coughed up.

Is the fine reasonable in law?

How do you mean? It’s probably 10x the amount of a decent bottle of tequila in the US...makes it an expensive couple of snifters for sure

If he can earn that fine in 3 minutes is it a real deterent to him doing it again?

Probably not but why should he be penalised for being wealthy?
it’s hardly the crime of the century

Ozzy bites the heads of bats, Bruce drinks in a park. It's hardly a rock 'n' roll excess.

I agree its probably not a deterent. I hope The Boss widens his search outside of the law and personally decides to not do it again.

Not as much of a crime as his singing these days.

Funnily enough, I did once see The Boss, (Glasto 2009) , I was about three rows from the front, but left after the second tune as I thought he had had a pale ale or two.

Yeah but he probably drove his car too, but the evidence wasn’t strong enough, so he admitted the lesser offence of drinking in a park.
