Just before we stumbled into 2008, I decided to make a childhood dream come true. I remember lying on my aunt and uncle's bed, watching their TV breathlessly (and not only because the idea alone of a TV in a bedroom was a luxury I wasn't used to) and seeing Bruce Springsteen strutt his stuff singing 'Dancing in the Dark'. I was 8 years old and sold. Instantly. And ever since then he's been a hero of mine. We sort of lost contact for a while, then briefly got reacquainted when I discovered his earlier work (some of it made before my birth), then lost touch again until a few months ago. I discovered his Seeger Sessions, the passion flared up again (hot damn that is good stuff), and when I heard he was going on tour again, I was determined to get tickets. Once in my life I want to see him play live. And I am. Wednesday, June 18th 2008, the Amsterdam Arena. I know there might be a few other people, but for me, it'll only be him and me. And I can't wait, I'm so excited!
Happy 2008 everyone, I hope for you this year will also bring lots of excitement and jumping up and down with joy. Let's rock and roll :-)
good stuff...you and Bruce have a fun time ;)
happy 2008 to you too!

Have a "rocking" 2008 either with or without Bruce!
Happy New Year to you!

Bruce rocks. I have the whole Seeger Sessions album on my MP3 for the gym.
Have a great time at the show. I've never seen Bruce either and probably need to get off my butt and do it.
