Anonymous asked: I just want to find the girl of my dreams at a Springsteen concert. Is that too much to ask?

There are plenty of us to go around!

Anonymous asked: in all honesty, i never really liked "Waitin' On A Sunny Day". after boston, i must have listened to that song 20 times in a row. it is one of my favorites now.

I know how you feel in as much as the song is… ahem, a little overplayed in Bruce’s live sets.  But then, as you say, I think dark times call for songs that make us feel happy & uplifted.  I’m glad you found solace in that song. x

We saw him on a Sunday. It was a beautiful day and you held my hand and I have never been happier. I’m so glad that I got to share your first time seeing him with you. There were times when I would look at you and see a sort of joy that I hadn’t seen before in a human being. I’m so glad that I could give that to you. I listen to Bruce every day and think of you. He helped us find each other. Those were better days, baby.

tip-toetroughthetulips asked: I'm going to his concert 30. April. 2013 have been really hard for me, but i feel like it's gonna help to see my hero again.

I hope it’s everything you hope for. <3

One of my favorite things to do when driving is roll down the window and put the Boss on shuffle. There’s something so gratifying about driving with him singing that just puts me at ease with the rest of the world.

The man I fell in love with broke up with me in a rather nasty way and told me he doesn’t have any feelings for me anymore. It feels almost impossible to let him go and keep on living, because I’m still in love with him. 
This morning I listened to Bruce and suddenly I just knew that this isn’t going to kill me. I’m not going to die, no matter how much this hurts. My heart is broken and I’m not ok, but now I know that eventually I will be. 

Bruce brought back some of the faith I had lost.
Also, I’m going to see Bruce in May, and that too gives me strength to believe that losing this isn’t the end of the world and my life isn’t over.

I’m at college studying Pharmacy, and it’s where I met my now best friend (who I’m completely in love with). As part of a Biochemistry module, we had to do case studies, and one began: “A fourteen year old girl named Mary Jane….”. He told me later that “it sounded like the start of a Bruce Springsteen song”. This is why I want to marry him.
