Yesterday, my sister had an extra ticket to see Bruce of Springsteen. Perhaps you are familiar with the name. Like Springsteen, I grew up in Freehold NJ (sharkbutt will argue that I'm grown out not grown up, but whatever!) It's probably been about 10 years or so since I've seen he and the E Street Band in concert and probably been about 20 since I've seen them in concert in NJ. There is a religious fervor to the madness surrounding it and I ain't even gonna lie. I was swept up in it. And yeah, I know every word to every song. This got me home at about 1 this morning and the alarm at 6 was ugly and early. If ya know what I mean. But I had to fetch the mothership for our annual trek to the Race for the Cure. And there is a religious fervor to the race for the cure. The energy is extraordinary. And not just from the 15 kids I high fived on my way through.
Great weekend, very powerful stuff.

Springsteen is to New Jersey as Aerosmith is to Boston.
But honestly? nothing seems to compare to the religious experience of New Jersey and Springsteen.
Tom Waits wrote him songs. So he cant be all bad.
