Oh, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I did see them yesterday, and they were everything they are rumored to be. Bruce has stil got it, my friends. But yes, the majority of the set was from Magic, which I did not at all mind, because his new album is much more similar to his old albums, and less '80's Bruce, which I like. He also played a fair about of Born to Run, which made me glad, because Born to Run is one of my favorite albums of any artist. And yes, when he played Born to Run (the actual song) I did in fact think of lovely Maxwell as I yelled "Ho." I was a bit down about the venue. I realize that Bruce is an icon for many, and actually, I was surprised how many people truly seemed to feel things despite the large number of people there. But yes, I understand he needs a big theater, I just prefer smaller places, I think it is more pure. However, it is just different vibes, and it is hard to beat thousands of people yelling "I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face." Especially when you know everyone meant it, and everyone was feeling something similar.
Clarence Clemmons is the Rick of the E Street Band, I think.
Also, my life was made a little bit more complete when Bruce Springsteen asked Stevie Van Zandt if it was "sexy time." God knows it was.
But yes, I had a good time with ol' Lauren and James. Amusing things always ensue with those sillies. As we were leaving I related that I felt we were yelling, to which James said we were but since everyone was, "nobody really knows." Which for some reason, at the time, was the pinnacle of hilarity. Probably because I was looking about, and it really seemed that no one noticed. And just general silliness in relation to what we were to do to Bruce on account of his not playing Thunder Road or Rosalita. All good fun.
Ah well, this weekend I socialized with LOL its max x3 and Nizzle Shah. It was very enjoyable, and I am not quite sure where to start. Neeyati and I encountered a dog drive by and a bounding danger dog. Ridiculous. We also put poor Max through a scavenger hunt in my basement. It all started when we didn't want to get something upstairs, and called and asked him to, and that escalated to us getting up to plan a Rick/MILFhunting inspired scavenger hunt. Thank goodness Max stayed on the right side of the D in my basement. I always enjoy just swapping silly stories with those chilluns. We always have a plan to say, watch Garden State, but end up talking about the glory that is Rick, but I like it better that way, honestly.
"I'm going to put your iPod on the floor."
"Stop spreading lies!"
"It's there."
"NOO!!"
That is the definition of our sad and unhealthy relationship. Silly.
