In March like three months ago I watch this movie called THE HUNTER. It was about a guy trying to find an extinct Tasmanian Tiger... Killing it and getting the genetic material for some conglomerate. Actual fact it was a Tasmanian tiger that went extinct like in 1935 they showed a little black-and-white video of it. There was an earlier guy but he disappeared and you see a house with a wife and two Australian kids... Plus, and this is the key, a big tree with seven or eight speakers. Our new hunter shows up fixes the generator is able to play music out of these speakers. First there's some Vivaldi blasting...then some odd haunting music...I LIKE IT, Look it up = I'm ON FIRE...by Bruce SPRINGSTEEN . Of course I get to YouTube see his version where he comes down and sits in the chair right next to the audience... Inches away very unusual. Get to some more videos realize this interaction with the audience is usual for him... And very unusual
Turns out he is a very nice guy. After getting and watching a few DVDs like the Barcelona Live I realize this is both unbridled joy and mutual respect. The band and the fans have a lot of fun.
I am now hooked ... See you on website go shoot he was in Pacific Northwest last fall but say he's in London... Maybe I could go with mom get some tickets.... She says too much for her but why don't I go and while I'm there when I see him in a couple other places.....this of course fits with my Life is short mode, and a bit of the "If you're going to do it you might overdo it" rule number 4.
So month later I'm going to see you four times .....
Di and other friends are curious and envious ....we see he is in Rio in September ?? Go there?....hmmm too far And rock festival format...so no deal.
..hmmm let's see...hey he is in Switzerland between London and Germany...oh heck....I hit the button., why not....folks say . When you're in the hospital looking at your bucket list are you gonna be able to explain why you wanted to save $215 to not see Bruce another time?? Will you be forced to see Britney Spears for all eternity because you skipped seeing Bruce??
So I am goin, Born to Run.

ReplyDeleteAll good up the street. Watched the punchbowl go down, enjoyed the sing along, pulled up a chair for the summer.

I will be following your Bruce adventure and will live vicariously through this journey. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Brogan,
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the story as you told it to me yesterday in Monchengladbach. I was amazed with your little 'project' and I am in awe for the things you have accomplished in just 5 concerts! (In 20 years of Bruce'ing I have not been able to get the kind of pictures you took in just over a week!)
Hope to see you in Kilkenny!
