Happy Birthday Boss man!
I'm so grateful to have a role model that is an inspiration to so many. I have no clue what I would do without his music as a sense of guidance, (especially through hard times). The sad, reflective, relatable, happy and fun lyrics he writes and sings are what I live to listen to. Lots of love to Bruce, the boss of rock and roll. Thank you so much for changing and shaping how I go through life for the better. You deserve the best for all you do. Make sure you stay hard, stay hungry, and stay alive. Can't wait to see this legend perform on Broadway in 38 days!
Also, last night at Maine East High School an annual event called coffee house was held, where teachers perform to help benefit our Fine Arts Department. I'm sure I've said this before but Mr. Doak, my APUSH teacher from last year is a huge fan of Bruce's and of course this is my senior year so it's my job to make sure I spread as much Springsteen as possible. We ended up creating a band with about as many members as the real E Street Band, the people in the band included; Mr. Z (that school dad from my last post on here!), Mr. and Mrs. Doak, Mrs. Salamon, Mr. Thomas, Dr. Gleason, Mr. Boyle and myself. A legendary combination if you ask me.
With only using 2 hours after school yesterday to rehearse as a full band, I'd say we did pretty good. I was definitely never expecting to perform Springsteen songs with my favorite teachers and I'm glad I got the chance too. Sadly though, we did have a tragedy in the fact that Mr. Z, our professional keyboard player lost his pie while performing at the 11:39 mark of the video.
So here we are living our Glory Days together and driving it home in our Pink Cadillacs.
Enjoy! I hope we made that birthday boy somewhat proud.
