          The office of presidential handler Michael Deaver contacted =

Springsteen's agent declined on behalf of his client, saying he was =
unavailable for any outside appearances during his tour. Springsteen's =

Springsteen anyway. The President's press aide could not immediately = tell
reporters what Reagan's favorite Springsteen song was, although the = Los
Angeles Herald-Examiner reported an aide as saying that Reagan = listened
to Springsteen's records all the time.
