Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Going on Hiatus

Bruce Springsteen reminds me of a big pile of Cack !!!!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SEAVER OR GUIDRY PITCH ONE MORE TIME. HOW ABOUT JFK AS YOUR PRESIDENT FOR A DAY? DID YOU EVER SEE ELVIS? HOW BOUT JERRY GARCIA ONE MORE TIME RIPPIN CHINA CAT? LT MAKIN ONE MORE SACK OR SIMMS HIT A WIDEOUT NOBODY EVER HEARD OF? MESSIER FROM 94 WEARING THE C ON A RANGERS JERSEY? IF I ASKED YOUR WIFE, ARE YOU AS GOOD AS YOU WERE THIRTY YEARS AGO OR DO YOU GOT MONEY TO GO WITH THAT GUT. HE MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD AS HE WAS, BUT BRUCE STILL IS AND IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO MISS HIM AND THE E STREETERS A COUPLE MORE TIMES.

My first Bruce show was 1977 in Jadwyn Gym at Princeton University. I've seen Bruce in Jersey Shore Bars 30 times. I ve been in Asbury Park on the Boardwalk at Convention hall. I've seen and paid admisson for well iver a 100 shows. I go becuse its my youth revisited. I go because its inspiring. I go to dance and sing! I go to get revitalized. I go because it's the best show ROCK and ROLL has to offer. I'll go again again and again. Because when there's no more Bruce shows the world will have lost a master craftsman. Iconic, if you havent gone GO! Awe inspiring and and intravenous of good time.

Live in NYC is as good a Live Album that exists. The Rising depoicts the pain of everyone that lived within the smoke of the Twin Towers. I remember going to a Yankee playoff game against the Rangers and driving the NJ TPK and looking at NYC and not seeing the twin towers and tearing a month later. Visit Ground Zero then listen to this album it will give you clarity and remorse. Magic and Working on a Dream are relevant to tadays time. Writer and poets detail the past and repeating mistakes. War has caused us pain and young American lives are lost everyday. Bruce speaks about it. I don't agree with all his politics but he has been around long enough to see the problem being replayed.

Think about this. Greetings From Asbury Park was released in 1973. Nixon was president, Watergate was happening 50,000 US soldiers had died in Vietnam. Record companies wanted him to "be the next Dylan" on the Wild and the Innocent. He relaesed the best or one of the best rock records ever in 1975 Born to Run. Sued his manager was out of public view after being on the cover of Time and Newsweek and sird to get ownership of the material he wrote after getting screwed.

“When the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band, from the coastline to the city all the little pretties raise their hands.”
-Bruce Springsteen “Tenth Avenue Freeze-out”

I just him in Chicago. This was my 10th time. My son and I lucked out in the General Admission lottery. We were the 80 and 81 st people in. I have stood 3 times prior to this but I was never this close to greatness. The energy , the joy they get out of performing is unique. A great actor said that he performs to the people who have never seen him before. Thats Bruce whether its the 1st or 101st he is the best. This Chicago show was the best. The Born to Run album live. I was exhausted after standing for 7 hours but it was worth every cramp and aching back. He may never pass this way again and if not I have a lifetime of memories and pictures.

Funny about some of the negativity about Bruce and ESB. Not everyone can love him like I do but he is a fantastic performer and songwriter. Unless you have seen him in person, you won't understand, like his seriously dedicated fans understand. He is receiving a Kennedy Center Honor for 2009. I looked at the people who nominate and judge these awards. They are from all walks of life and the entertainment industry. They consider him worthy of an award, along with the likes of Robert DeNiro, Mel Brooks, Dave Brubeck and an opera singer who's name eludes me at the moment. I think enough is said by that honor.

As a music lover and one who has seen Bruce perform every time he's been in Minnesota, since his first show at the Guthrie Theatre in 1975 to this last tour, (except once when I was in a coma), I've been lucky enough to take more than one naysayer to a concert and have them then turn out to be the biggest ESB fans around.
You either get it or you don't. Sad to see so many that don't or rather won't, though it means better tickets for those of us that do!

Bruce is an American ICON.
