A Guest Blog From My Mom
Soooo, I was so tired last night (coming in at 1 o’clock I could not be guest blogger and when I woke up this morning all I could was have my coffee and get out to work. Why was I so tired you ask? I spent three hours rockin’ the house with my favorite 60 year old. Though last night’s opening show at Giant’s stadium was Bruce’s requiem mass for the stadium I had a different take on the show. With Bruce belting out NO Retreat, no Surrender I realized how significant that song was. At 60 this guy was going to continue to share himself and his soul with the world.At a time of life when a lot of us boomers are setting back and starting to surrender, Bruce pours it out and refuses to surrender. The longer he played the stronger he got. Imagine my thrill when while playing “Dancin’ in the Dark”.Springsteen pulled a white haired, overweight, 50 something woman up on stage to dance with him!! Score one for those of us who are begining to feel on occasion a little invisible. My life long friend Rosemary spent the night on our feet and feeling like we were 15 again( what a great feeling)Thanks Bruce!
