What does Bruce Springsteen have to do with sci fi? Well, he's releasing an album dedicated to the woes of Martian miners ... It's on the internet, so it must be true, right?

There's a crater on the edge of town
I mean, the writers of The Onion, America's Finest News Source, would not lie to us, would they? They're
professionals! They have their own website! And a story with quotes, even!

The Onion is reporting that rock'n'roller Bruce Springsteen has released "Red Dust," dedicated to the plight of hard-working miners on Mars.

"I try to write about universal feelings and desires," Springsteen said in an apparently exclusive interview because I couldn't find a single word about this news on any other website. "There's tragedy, grief, redemption. But there's also nostalgia for one's carefree younger days of racing souped-up hyper-thrust cruisers through the Valles Marineris canyon, and for nights spent chasing Martian girls along the rusting boardwalks of a crater-side spaceport."
