Despite not having the hits he once did, this male singer still plays big arenas and is permanently on the A list. Anyway, our singer read a book he really liked and invited the author to come hang out for a weekend. The author told the singer that he had a teenage son who was a musician and also a big fan of the singer. The singer said to bring the son along. So, off they went. Over the weekend, the singer took the son around and brought him to a concert, took him backstage, introduced him to the members of the band and even let the teenager play with the band during a show. Totally made every dream of this kid come true.
Bruce Springsteen
Nice one, Boss.
ReplyDeleteNow that is class!
ReplyDeleteCool. Who's the author, Enty?
ReplyDeleteYup, that was cool.
ReplyDeleteNice job Bruce. I'd also like to know who the author was.
ReplyDeleteI think Bruce was the popular guess on this one. Way to go, Bruce!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it was Bruce, but I stand corrected.
ReplyDeleteGood for Bruce.
A kind thing to do.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story. I love the kindness blinds.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else think the reveals are more awesome this year?
Maybe it was Steven King? Does he still have a teenager?? I know Uncle Stevie like Bruce...
ReplyDeleteVicki- I do too! I'm still reeling from old Hwood ones.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved that he let the kid play during the show. So awesome. Wish Enty could reveal the author too :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, like I needed another reason to love the Boss Man. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteGreat reveal. Love this one. And yes, I think they are better than usual.
ReplyDeleteEnty....who is the author?
ReplyDeletekind class BI
ReplyDeleteI must have missed this blind the first time so I went back to read the guesses. I'd like to hear some of these negative stories about Bruce because I've only read that he's a genuinely nice guy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, and this sounds stupid, but does anyone know if he's a cat lover?
OPP?
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone was still not convinced of the Boss's awesomeness...
ReplyDeleteIf original Enty had written this blind, you know he would've started by reminiscing about how he promoted some shows back in the day that this singer was really big, and then segued into the blind.
ReplyDeleteOPP = Other People's Property
ReplyDeleteI don't buy those stories. In one of them, the woman sounds like an insane stalker.
Yay Bruce!
ReplyDeleteI love Bruce (even with the affair rumors). Happy this reveal is him. If you love Bruce, the documentary, "The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a must!
ReplyDeleteI know this is really stoopid, but I've had a love/hate relationship with Bruce since he divorced Julianne. I know I know - long time ago ! In regards to OPP - Patti - what goes around, comes around ! But this is a nice one - WTG Bruce ! Luv ya !
ReplyDeleteJulianne didn't want to 'ruin' her body by having kids. Patti didn't mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd some people just weren't meant to be together. He's been with Patti for forever, why hold on to the past?
ReplyDeleteI love Bruce.
And this is why New Jersey rocks !
ReplyDeleteLOL Seriously, that's a class act.
Bruce did cheat with Patti, but Julianne was pretty removed from the marriage, from what I remember at the time, and Julianne made some pretty big $ from that settlement. Not condoning, but sometimes, getting married just wasn't a good idea to begin with.
ReplyDeletep.s. Listen to Tunnel of Love - that song /album was all about Bruce becoming disillusioned with the person he was involved with. It really does say it all.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who works for Bruce. He is genuinely this nice, which is rare in the music biz. He treats the people who work for him very well.
ReplyDeleteif he did,'t suck the kids cox, then its just another lameass reveal, whats next, he bought girl scout cookies from the neighbors?... oh what a saint.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like the kindness reveals, Sandman, then don't bother reading them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I know a few people who know or have met him, and I've never heard anything negative about him. Those affair rumors seem to have stopped, making me think it wasn't true.
ReplyDeleteYay Boss, this nearly made me well up! I was hoping it was him!
ReplyDeleteAnd LMAO at the use of OPP (hehehe)
