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?!

I have an extensive collection…this one might be a little niche, but it works for me…

He opened his shirt on Thursday…that was not the chest of a 73 year old.

I want whatever vitamins he’s on.

He’s old enough to be my dad but I hear you sister. I’ve loved him since I was 12 (49 now) and last saw him in Edinburgh in May.

claracluck1978 · 11/07/2023 23:20

I'm honestly loving the look now. Which worries me as I generally don't have my head turned by pensioners!

I've seen him a few times so it's not like I'm new to the Bruce party but i just can't believe how hot he is now.

I like his beardy, beanie hat look from the 70s, too.

CharityJane · 11/07/2023 23:17

I really fancied him when Dancing in the Dark came out, but then I saw his more gnarly rock’n’roll look and thought he was even more gorgeous. He’s a bit like David Bowie in that he just gets better with age.

He’s got an incredible physique and energy. His music is brilliant, which also helps!

I saw him at Sheffield United football ground in 1988, it is one of the highlights of my life.

He was sex on legs and it was very obvious he and Patti had a thing going.

Oh to have been Patti for just one night.

LunaNorth · 11/07/2023 23:12

So does mine!

Patti is such a lucky woman. If they didn’t seem so perfect together I could really start to resent her…

LunaNorth · 11/07/2023 23:10

Charismatic, but also capable of being goofy…and then really emotionally intelligent…great singer, musician, lyricist…

I’ve been walking around with heart eyes for nearly a week 😍

Tbh I think DH would let me have a little go on Bruce. He loves him more than I do, but in a slightly different way…

My DP has a thing for redheads so maybe I could get him to distract Patti!

He is insanely charismatic.

Such sexy lyrics, too. There’s a song on Tracks called Sad Eyes which was, ahem, formative in my youth.

Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don't do much talking
You say you're happy and doing fine
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time

Because sad eyes never lie
Because sad eyes never lie

Well, for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way

Because sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Baby, don't you know I don't care?
Don't you know that I've been there
Well, if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind

I know you think you'd never be mine
Well, that's okay, baby, I don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Here come all dressed up for a date
Well, one more step and it'll be too late

Blue, blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure I'll be standing here

I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Watch some videos from the 80s. Particularly One Step Up and I’m On Fire.

Fucking hell, I’d climb him like a fucking tree.

In fact, I too saw him last Thursday, OP. Still would.

He was phenomenal.

I'm on Fire and Human Touch have been my faves this evening 🔥

I told DP at the gig that I would have left him there and then for a night with Bruce. He laughed it off like I was joking......

Yep and his music’s not bad either.

I spent my teenage years being embarrassed my parents liked his music and now the tables have turned!
