A lot of people claim to be Bruce Springsteen fans, but would they kill for him? An Australian woman has pleaded guilty to manslaughter for stabbing her husband to death after an argument over The Boss.

Karen Lee Cooper was sentenced to eight years in prison for stabbing Kevin Watson once in the chest in a drunken argument at their home in July 2006.

Cooper told police she had become fed up with Watson telling her what to do during their two-year relationship.

On the night of the killing, she tried to play a Springsteen CD and Watson turned it off.

The police record quotes Cooper as saying, "I mean, who doesn't like Bruce Springsteen, for God's sake?" She says, "I just picked up a knife and I went 'boom."
