   There is nothing like The BossHe is the greatest rock performer and tremendous human being. I saw him once on this tour and will see him again on March. This time we will take the kids.
   Can we get him to help the cause regarding climate change?

   True storyThe day of my wedding, I told my wife that it had been the second most emotional moment in my life. The first being the first time I saw Springsteen, specifically in the middle of that really long, held note in 10th Avenue Freeze Out, after he had introduced everyone in the band except...  wait for it.... get emotional... "and they made a change up town, and the big man, joined the band".
   Don't ask me why, but I'm man enough to admit that tears started coming.

   Bruce's lyricsI don't own many but all his albums I've listened to include a lyrics booklett.  Listening to them while reading along makes the images and messages clearer and more powerful, even for songs I've heard a hundred times before.  He writes it all and is a master lyricist.

   speaking of strong people brought lowMy refugee friends, family, and I broke down at the 2006 JazzFest (New Orleans) when Bruce sang City of Ruins.  I can hardly type even now, remembering.

   What you might thinkBruce Springsteen is without a doubt a moving and topical artists regardless of what age you finally got it at.  So we agree.  What we don't agree on is the obvious ignorance that it would take to randomly throw in the Life is a Highway comment.  Opinions are just that I understand but admitting that ignorance was what lead you into the lack of interest into Bruce Springsteen and then throwing another artist that you are obviously ignorant about just makes your comments unbelievable.  Have you ever researched how that song came about?  Have you ever looked at the long track record of what Tom Cochrane has accomplished with his humanitarian work alone.  There is nothing ever accomplished by putting someones elses work down to make your point.  Not necessary at best......Happy Holiday may I offer you a mirror.
