    How did Bruce Spingsteen get his nickname "The Boss"?

    Question #102965. Asked by star_gazer. (Feb 12 09 8:55 PM)


    DPISHERE

    		Springsteen acquired the nickname "The Boss" during this period as when he played club gigs with a band he took on the task of collecting the band's nightly pay and distributing it amongst his band mates. Springsteen, however, has never liked this nickname, due to his dislike of bosses.

    What singer's nickname is "the boss"?

    I can't remember the name of a particular video game I once played in the arcade, circa mid 1990s. The game was a fighting type game similar to 'Double Dragon', but I don't think that was it. In the first stage you'd go along fighting for a while until about the middle of the stage where there's a mini-boss as I'd call it; this enemy was clearly tougher than any others in that stage up to that point. Once you get past him and get to the end of the stage, the background changes for the stage boss, I seem to remember purple or pink in the background for this boss battle. From this limited description, can anyone think of the name of the game?
