Music

Springsteen's Nebraska has been the soundtrack to all of my weekday mornings lately. Not exactly get up and go music but Atlantic City never ceases to blow me away:
-
^that is because it is one of the greatest albums ever written. IMO Springsteen is one of the greatest American song writers ever.
-
Can't disagree with any of that!
-
And to top it off, he seems like a decent, down to earth sort of dude, too.
I love New Jersey…

We were in New York the year after 9/11, and went to visit the World Trade Centre site. There were pictures of various politicians and celebrities who had come down to the site in the days following the attack, to meet and generally give moral support to what ,at the time, was a rescue effort.
The picture that stood out to me above all others (Clinton, Tom Hanks, Guliani etc.. ) was Springsteens, he was wearing overalls, a hard hat, and work gloves, and he was in there moving fucking rubble. That is a real, honest, genuine, great man.

The Boss rules!

I mentioned this once before, but the father of one of Julie's friends went to high school with Springsteen. They had a class reunion a couple of years ago and Springsteen went to it. No entourage, no press, just Bruce. He hung around with folks, took the standard high school reunion pictures, etc. No big deal, just an ordinary guy going back to Freehold for his reunion to see old friends…
I just love that.

^^rocket couldn't agree more I have met him several times private party's backstage etc… And you can't meet a more genuine, stand up guy.
