Local Anesthesia: Wonderful world Cheryl Wheeler loves her job; plus, V for Vendetta by BOB GULLA

Apparently, not even Bruce Springsteen thinks that Bruce Springsteen is worth $5000 a head, but after some behind-the-scenes tumult and an exchange of bitchy press releases, the Springsteen camp announced that the Boss will indeed be playing two ultra-rare solo shows this week at the Somerville [MA] Theatre (617-931-2000) to benefit the artsy-fartsy highbrow magazine Double Take, whose offices are upstairs from the Somerville. Tickets for the two shows, which take place Wednesday and next Thursday, sold out in a couple of hours for $100, $500, and $1000; at press time, they were going for as much as $3500 on eBay. By comparison, two tickets to paradise -- or, we should say, two tickets to see country megastar Vince Gill play the Paradise in Boston (617-423-NEXT) on Valentine's Day -- were going for a measly $200. Officially, though, that one's sold out, too.
