A little Bruce Springsteen for a Friday night.

Rocking the house with his take on an old spiritual:

1. That was excellent!!

Nobody puts their entire being into every song like THE BOSS!
I used to see him perform all the time in the E Street years.
I remember telling my dad that this guy was gonna be huge. A year later he
was on the cover of Time and Newsweek the same week.
He still rocks big time.

and right back at ya...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5KnYADCSms

Thanks. :)

3. I grew up in NJ. Never saw him perform at the Stone Pony.

Saw him in Philly and Trenton NJ. Back when you could get 2nd row seats
a day after they went on sale. Before he hit the big time.

4. My current favorite:

The times are tough now
Just getting tougher
This old world is rough
It's just getting rougher
Cover me
Come on baby cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Promise me baby you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms
Let's let our love blind us
Cover me
Shut the door and cover me
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn on the light
Bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more
This whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough I don't want to see any more
Cover me
Come on and cover me
I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me

5. That sure is relevant in these times.

With all the angry wing nuts running around out there.

9. No, Terre Haute, IN.

And I'm sure tickets are next to impossible to get anyway. I once tried when he was performing in Indianapolis, but couldn't even get through when I tried to call to order tickets.
