I’ve been trying to find a significant extract from this article to quote here to encourage you guys to read this, but actually it’s all so good I can’t simply isolate one sentence or paragraph.
Joan Walsh here speaks as much for many of us who converted to the Church of Springsteen long ago, as for those who joined recently. A Springsteen concert is not just a concert; it’s a sensual, physical, spiritual experience. And it carries the story of a man and his band, a story that has touched all of us in different ways, and that brings us together here and there - on the web and in the arena.
Read it and see for yourself. I’m willing to put money on this article being the smartest, most constructive, and deepest analysis of the current state of the Springsteen nation that will appear this year.
My two biggest passions in life are Bruce and running. So I decided to get this awesome tattoo on my leg. This is the finished product. I love the simplicity of it. Hope you all enjoy as much as I do.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, October 31st, 1980, Los Angeles Sports Arena
Bruce was brought onstage in a coffin. When he emerged, the band proceeded to open the show with a one-off cover of Johnny Fuller’s “Haunted House.”
Happy Halloween from FY The Boss!
This is a really crappy picture, but that’s okay; it still works. I was just talking to one of my friends about great concerts; I’ve been to a lot of awesome shows, met some really fantastic people.
The greatest show I’ve ever been to, though, was when my daddy and I went to see Bruce Springsteen. My entire childhood was filled with his music, and finally getting to see him in concert- with the very man who was responsible for my love of said music- was perfect. He played for four hours straight, and we were even able to see the Big Man before he passed away.
So this morning I’m sharing a little bit of the The Boss with you…but mostly to remind myself of a perfect moment. 
Ladies and gentlemen, the E Street Band, or: I’m so worried about this talk about “the band’s future” that Mr Springsteen is planning in the next week or so.
