They did, however, unanimously vote to honor Olivia Newton-John on the 30th anniversary of her "Have You Never Been Mellow" album
Republican leaders in the Senate blocked a resolution introduced by the two Democratic Senators from New Jersey honoring Bruce Springsteen on the thirtieth anniversary of his "Born to Run" album.
"Hey, Senator Frist, are you going to allow a vote on the Springsteen resolution?" "Gee, that's a tough one. On the one hand 'Born to Run' combines raw energy with lyrical brilliance - it practically redefined rock and roll. Honestly, there's nothing I love more after a hard day in the Senate chamber than putting the top down on my Chrysler Sebring and cranking up 'Thunder Road' for the drive home. On the other hand, the bastard supported Kerry, so I'm going to have to say no."
