DIALLO'S MOM WANTS TO MEET THE BOSS

Amadou Diallo's mother plans to thank Bruce Springsteen in person for his controversial song recognizing her son's shooting at the hands of New York City police — possibly tonight at The Boss's Madison Square Garden concert. "Of course I would like to meet with him," Kadiatou Diallo said yesterday. "He's here for 10 days; we will have time for that." Diallo said it would be great to hear Springsteen do the song — "American Skin" — in person. "It keeps his memory alive," she said of her slain son. Without mentioning Diallo by name, the song references key elements of the case — "41 shots," a person lying dead in a vestibule and confusion over whether something is a knife, gun or wallet. —New York Post
