The Boss


I went to go and see Bruce Springsteen tonight at TD Gardens in Boston. He was fabulous (I wasn't even a real fan, though I am now) - and made The Police (who I saw last week) look like Saint Winnifred's School Choir.

There were no fancy graphics, props etc. No support band or headliner. He was amazing and raw, and somehow it felt very, very American. The classics (Tunnel of Love etc) were tingling and great - but it blew me away when he sang 'The Rising' - the crowd's response to it was amazing, overwhelming and simply beyond my writing skills to describe.
