All these people from all around the world sent in videos of themselves sharing memories, funny concert stories, and reasons they worship The Boss.
The film was a collection of silly fanatic confessions and awesome old concert footage of a young Bruce. My favorites were the emotional speeches about how his music had touched their lives; the songs weaved into their days. None of them had met the man, but they talked about him like an old friend.
We found ourselves shaking our head in agreement quite often. Yup, his concerts really are phenomenal. Yup, we've all had that moment when you feel like he's singing just to you -- even in the nosebleeds section of the biggest venues. Nothing beats the rush of singing along with 20,000 other reverent fans. That time when you become besties with the guy next to belting out "Blood Brothers." The songs, new and old, tell stirring stories that you can't help connecting with. He's as devoted to his fans, as he is to the E Street band. His brotherhood.
At our house, Bruce has been a large part of the soundtrack of our lives since Dave and I first met (though, Jersey-boy Dave is a life-long fan). All of our big moments, from first dates, to our wedding and even the name of our first kid, has a connection to Bruce. It's gratifying to not be alone in our adoration.
Thank you, Bruce!
