Bruce Springsteen covered Bryan Adams' Cuts Like a Knife last week in NYC at a rain forest benefit show. Why? I have no idea. Click here to listen.

"He turned it from a toy-rock bauble into a Solomon Burke-like slice of soul," wrote a reviewer with the New York Daily News. (That's good, right?)

By the way, the finale for the evening: Bruce, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Debbie Harry and every other singer in the house performed a requisite rendition of Journey's Don't Stop Believin'.
