Bruce Springsteen

Throughout at least my entire life, my dad has been enamored with two things: distance running and Bruce Springsteen. Now that I am firmly following in his steps about the running, it seems like I’m also finding a passion for “The Boss’s” music. It began with my dad’s declaration that he was going to take my boyfriend and me to a Springsteen concert with his friends. I was listening to some of his CDs in preparation and discovered that I truly liked the music.
But the real reason that I am impressed by Springsteen is his concert. For those of you who do not know, Bruce Springsteen is almost 60. And the E Street Band, who plays with Springsteen, has been together since 1972 and the musicians are middle aged. So you might think that the energy level would be below that of a younger band. But that is where you would be wrong. The energy level was high and persistent throughout the entire show with few breaks. Here was this 60 year old man who has way more energy than anyone I have ever seen. And the performance of the music was excellent, as one might expect from someone who has been performing since the 60s.
