The Bruce Springsteen Rock And Roll Hall of fame exhibit has been expanded and it's stay at the Cleveland museum extended through the end of 2010. Backstreets.com reported that the exhibit, called, From Asbury Park To the Promised Land, "has recently added several additional pieces to the exhibition, some from private collectors, and others from (Springsteen's) personal archive."


Moving over to the Cleveland exhibit from the now-closed New York Annex is Springsteen's 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible -- which "The Boss" customized by "painting yellow and adding flames on the sides and dashboard." Also on exhibit will be his 1960 Corvette that he bought with his earnings from his breakthrough album Born To Run. Springsteen has donated several instruments including his Linn drum machine which was used during his legendary 1983 "Hollywood" home demos.


He has also loaned his 2002 Grammy Award for The Rising -- in the Best Rock Album category; his 2007 Grammy Award for "Radio Nowhere" -- in the Best Rock Song category; his 2009 Golden Globe Award for "The Wrestler; his 2009 Kennedy Center Honor -- as well as the coat he wore on the steps of the Lincoln memorial on January 18th at the concert leading up to the inauguration of President Obama.
