George Clooney and Bruce Springsteen have joined politicians and journalists in honouring the memory of U.S. political heavyweight Tim Russert, who died last week . Springsteen, who was the newsman's favourite rocker, took time to pay tribute to Russert during a concert in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday night and then dedicated Thunder Road to the broadcaster. Russert had once booked his hero to perform at his old Cleveland college in 1975. Meanwhile, Clooney was among those who sent flowers to a public wake for the Meet The Press host, planned for Tuesday at St. Albans School in Washington, D.C, where President George. W. Bush was among mourners. A private funeral mass and burial is planned for Wednesday and a televised memorial service will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. later on Wednesday.
