The Boss

They say you always remember your first love - I remember mine! It was in the 1980's and he was much older than I and in a band. Even though my parents hated his music they let me go see him perform in Blue Heaven (Chapel Hill) my Senior Year in High School - Ahhhh! It was after all my dying wish - I was soooo dramatic! The Tunnel of Love Tour - not known as one of the better ones, but I loved every second and sang every word! The Boss came to my town again last night and twenty years just melted away! Well sort of :) Bruce was sliding around the stage and swinging his guitar just like a teenager and he ROCKED the North Charleston Coliseum! Our ears are still ringing this morning! Ha! I couldn't believe all the words I used to know by heart were lost somewhere in the crevices of my brain filled up with other info from the last 20 years - Drew's birth date, Alyssa's current shoe size, when she walked, how long potty training took, etc. I have to admit I felt a little old, but let me tell ya, not as old as some of the people there! Our ears were not the only ones ringing! Even with ringing ears and a throat hoarse from yelling at the top of my lungs, it was true joy that I experienced as I watched my love, my man of so much passion, perform last night. God has been very good to me, my bunch of rowdy friends growing up always said "Anything over 30 is bonus!" I felt the beauty of bonuses last night! God bless you, Bruce Springsteen, thank you for coming to my town last night and singing to me - it was one of the best gifts I have ever received!
