BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, ROGER WATERS ROCK NEW YORK for WOUNDED VETERANS (VIDEO) | Bruce Springsteen told dirty jokes, Waters played a Pink Floyd classic with a band of veterans || BY Andy Greene / Rolling Stone Bruce Springsteen is a man of many talents, though stand-up comedy is most definitely not one of them. But as the final performer of the annual Stand Up for Heroes benefit last night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden – which also featured Roger Waters and short sets by comedy superstars Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and Jim Gaffigan – he was unable to resist the urge to tell a few jokes. Im puzzled, he said. This is a night of comedy with soldiers in the audience, but the entire night went by without anybody telling any dirty jokes? I cant let that happen. With that, Springsteen got uncharacteristically bawdy. An old man is having trouble getting an erection, he said shortly after walking onstage clutching an acoustic guitar. He goes to the doctor and he tells him the story, I cant sustain an erection. Ive tried Viagra. Ive tried it all, like jellybeans. Nothing. Doctor says, You may be beyond medical help, but theres a gypsy around the corner. Go around to her and tell her this. The gypsy listens and she says, Take this vial, and when the time comes, sprinkle it a little bit where it counts and say: One, two, three. And then its Washington Monument, Louisville Slugger time. But its only going to work once. The guy goes, Great, great. How do I get it back down? Thats easy, say, One, two, three, four. Its going to go down. The guy runs home, all excited, sees his wife and tells her to get into bed. He hops in, gets his clothes off and sprinkles a little bit on and says, One, two, three. His wife goes, I dont get it, whats the One, two, three for? THE FULL STORY: rollingstone/music/news/bruce-springsteen-roger-waters-rock-new-york-for-wounded-veterans-20131107
