The Boss Still Rules

Is there a more peak concert experience than Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band live in New Jersey? Last night at the Meadowlands suggests not. Don't know if you've picked up your copy of MAGIC but you should. Like a fine wine the Boss just gets better with age. It only took one spin of Radio Nowhere to recognize it was yet another hit, but with some time and seeing the live show the rest of the album has revealed some other absolute gems.

If this tour comes to your town I suggest you get there. We're currently drawing to an end of the rock icon era but still have a few in our midst. I wonder how he still does it, the incredible songs that continue to pour out and the unlimited energy up there on stage. Seeing this show made me thankful and happy to be alive - it was just that powerful. The grown men in tears behind me at the end of Born To Run know what I'm talking about. Hope you find tickets.
