Happy birthday, Bruce Springsteen! (Called DT a moron last night!)

http://liveforlivemusic.com/features/watch-bruce-springsteen-jam-with-phish-in-honor-of-his-67th-birthday-today/
Bruce with Phish at Bonnaroo.

I've seen the guy many times, first at the Roxy in LA. Last a couple of years ago in Oakland. Always amazing. His songs are me. The greatest performer that ever lived. Part preacher, part carnival Barker, part Elvis had Elvis not become the Elvis that he became, and part everyman. Socially active, yet not preachy. It's in his music through and through though. You can't be into Bruce listening to "Factory" or "Youngstown" and not know EXACTLY where he stands.

Thanks for the music, Bossman.

People who wouldn't usually show up for a political rally, would show up for the boss.
