What I learned from "The Boss"
I went to the Springsteen concert on Friday night. I'm a fan. I'm not a Springsteen fanatic like two of the guys I went with. They knew every word of every song. I faked like I knew all of the lyrics. "Screen door slams, Mary's dress sways, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays. Mumble, mumble, and mumble, mumble, hey that's me and I want you only... Why did I pretend to know the words when I didn't? Why do I care so much about my Springsteenaoke performance? Was I just trying to keep up with The Fanatic? I'll have to think about that one and get back to myself. But, I can tell you I did learn a lot from Friday night. Springsteen is 74. I'm almost 60. He played for 3 hours straight with no break. I went to the bathroom 3 times and sat for about 30 minutes. He's fit. He's strong. He's soulful well into his 70's. Age is only a number....
