... this story just gets more weird... "accept a shot of Tequila from a fan" is not something I'd advise. Most celebrities would not "accept a shot of Tequila from a fan" in a public park (saw that in another story) and then get on a motorcycle! Also, if the blood alcohol level is under the limit, wouldn't they simply release him - thinking the case was poor? Or, were they concerned about him?
Was there something other than alcohol? Unfortunately, this Springsteen story is going to go on and on because nothing seems to fit...
