Okay I found the original post:
"Last week, the Froggy morning show was inundated with calls about Kenny Chesney, Renee Zellweger, and Keith Urban showing up at the Springsteen show in Oakland. One caller, "Dave", claimed to be working security at that show and said it was almost definite that Springsteen would show up at the Kenny Chesney show in return. Word was that because ABC was taping the Chesney concert for an upcoming special, he'd have surprise guests on hand for the taping and Springsteen wasn't supposed to be anywhere until Sunday, and even then, he was only going to Columbus. Of course, Springsteen was a no-show at the big show. This afternoon, Stony Richards on Y108 said that they'd never announced on their station anything about Kenny and company turning up at Springsteen's show, and in fact, he had heard that Chesney wasn't even in town until Friday night.
Soooo.... with that in mind, does anyone suppose that Y108 might have "planted" this information with Froggy just to make them look less credible in the event that they did run with it the way they did?"
