Bear with me....

I know he's 73 & he's got 3 decades on me but I am becoming obsessed after seeing him in concert last week.

I've found some old concert videos from the 70s and 80s and can't believe how magnetic he is and was on stage!

I love my DP but AIBU to say I wouldn't miss a beat to disappear with Bruce for a night?!

We’re going to be four hours away in Boston when he plays his hometown gig in NJ 😬

@claracluck1978 Me too, half my (many) open browser tabs are currently either viagogo for tickets, skyscanner for flights or youtube for concert footage 😁

Thanks@Crabwoman that's a great clip. Every time I return to this thread I fall in love a bit.

@andylion I hope you have never washed again.

well, I haven’t washed my hand since, but I have licked it several times.

My ex-bil knows him fairly well. They’ve both been drinking in the same bar in New Jersey for years. Said he’s so down to earth, no airs and graces about him, just one of the lads :)

He features on a song called Chinatown by Bleachers.

If you watch one of the videos he features in, the Lead Singer Jack Antonoff (at about 2:40 mins) gives exactly the look I'd give if I met the Boss.

Does anyone remember last year or the year before he made a kind of home movie. And if so where can I watch it?

I know this is an old photo but...

A friend told me how they were in a group of friends at a hotel bar in Dublin years ago. One of his colleagues saw Bono and The Edge and got a bit overexcited. He then went over to ask for a photo and went back to my mate delirious he'd had a pic taken with the guys from U2. Then my friend told him to look at who he'd asked to take the photo - it was Springsteen who was sat with them!

I've never known if that story is true or a retelling of an urban myth but I like to believe if!

He's playing in Boston when I'm there next month and some tickets floating around. I'm trying to talk DS into it.

I'd buy a ticket and go alone!

Well I am thrilled the overwhelming consensus here is IANBU but a little worried now over then number of MNrs I have to beat down to his door

Sorry, he's all mine. I wrote his lyrics all over my school text books. I've loved him for many years and I think he knows that if he wants to muck about with a 50 year old woman I am very much available. Also saw him in Hyde Park, forth time I've seen him live, and it was amazing.

I'd climb over DH to get to him any day. I think this is entirely reasonable.

PollyCreo · 12/07/2023 21:04

My ex was the double of Bruce, same shaped face and nose. He's dead now (the ex) but I still get hot when I see pictures of Bruce 🔥

I'm sure I shared this video last year... enjoy!

I'm 3/4 through a bottle of Chablis. DP has come home with Mojo mag with a Bruce interview in it and told me I'm in charge of the remote tonight. I reckon he's hoping he'll benefit from my poring over old videos 😂

I've just found a ropey YouTube video of the Broadway shows.
That's my afternoon sorted then.

Someone needs to tell me something bad about him before he becomes some sort of deity in this house!
