I’m a Jersey Girl in case you didn’t know. At one point in my life, Bruce Springsteen and his family were actually living in my hometown. I’ve met him and talked with him over the years. I’ve seen him play locally numerous times and I was even at a spontaneous birthday party he had at a local restaurant where he gave an impromptu mini concert with his band and danced with his Mom on the dance floor. That was such a memorable night!
What I find special about Bruce is how he weaves his stories through his music in a way that touches so many of us. Around town, he didn’t display his celebrity status. He was just Bruce, without pretensions which is such a lovely way to be.
So when he played at the Tony Awards, the man playing the piano was so real to me. While I didn’t grow up in his hometown, the nostalgia in which he paints it was real to me as I know his town too.
If you care to take a listen, maybe this clip will remind you of the beauty of your hometown as you take a walk down your memory lane along the streets of your childhood.
Shine On!

Definitely resonates with me. He seems so down to earth. Glad to hear he really seems to be.
He really is very kind and nice. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
You are welcome.
It is good to see the ‘hometown’ even in those that are up on a stage all the time Yvonne. It makes them more realistic instead of some dreamlike figure we all look up to on a pedestal somewhere 😀 ❤
I agree Mark! It is refreshing in this day and age to say the least. He’s a really nice man. 🙂 ♥
It’s always nice to find out that someone is how you imagined them to be. He always seemed like a down to earth guy. I’m glad to find out that he is.
He is…which is really nice. Thanks for stopping by Dan.
Bruce in your home town. Now that’s SOMETHING.
LOL! Thanks David.
