Swan said Springsteen's 1975 breakthrough album "Born to Run," as well as subsequent albums "Darkness on the Edge of Town," "The River," "Born in the U.S.A" and "Nebraska," talked about the shifting foundations of the U.S. economy before the subject became topical. "If I could distill the relevance of Bruce Springsteen's music to Australia, it would be this: Don't let what has happened to the American economy happen here," Swan said. Swan said Springsteen is also the favorite musician of Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Swan is expected to see the concert with his family in Brisbane on Saturday. His office could not immediately confirm his plans on Thursday. He has concerts in Sydney, Melbourne and rural Victoria state before heading to Europe in late April.
