Bruce Springsteen is basically a member of my family. I can’t listen to him without thinking of my dad, sister, or cousins, and we would be more than happy to have him at our Thanksgiving celebration (and it *is* a celebration) this year. If anyone can hook this up, let me know STAT. As I’ve mentioned before, I actually only became a Bruce fan a few years back. But since then, I’ve fulfilled my Jersey Duty of seeing him in concert three times, most recently at Metlife Stadium this past weekend, always in the incredible company of my family members.
October 2009 – An epic tailgate in the parking lot of Giants Stadium with Katie, Emily, & Christie:
April 2012 – A Good Friday night concert at Madison Square Garden when our tickets were oddly in the press section, again with Katie, Emily, & Christie:
September 2012 – MetLife Stadium with Katie, Emily, Christie PLUS Mike PLUS MY PARENTS for a concert that was postponed two hours due to lightning (wimps), but was also Bruce Springsteen’s 63rd birthday party (“I think I just invited 55,000 people to my birthday!” “Hey! It’s my birthday!”), and Bruce played LIKE A BOSS until 2 am:
