I am very excited to be going to see this man for the first of two shows this summer tomorrow night. Bruce Springsteen is a very New Jersey kind of guy, but unlike a musician like Bon Jovi, he has been able to transcend that sort of regional popularity and doesn't only sell out Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands. I think there's something to be said for that, he clearly still loves playing concerts, and the Superbowl performance was a pretty good one, I though. Definitely better than some of the more recent ones that I can remember. Prince, for instance. I am a big Prince fan, probably a bigger than I should be because I'm not sure what that says about me, but even as a fan, I couldn't get behind him playing the Superbowl halftime show. Football is the masculinity of America, and the die-hard fans could rarely be described as individuals down with a metrosexual midget (I exaggerate), basically it was a recipe for disaster, in my eyes. THIS YEAR WAS COOL THOUGH. and I am very excited for tomorrow, and to be spending it with the Moryan family. After that, it's off to the Sleaze for the rest of the holiday...I'd be very surprised if any other state takes this holiday and approaches it with the mindset and aggression that New Jersey does. It certainly is a different breed.
