Springsteen Magic

So, it's coming up. The time is near. I sold my fricking Dallas Vs Buffalo tickets so as to finance my Springsteen show. It truly cost that much. I am the world's bitch...and so are you. In fact, if I am a qualifier, you most likely are contender for B of the year. And yes, I use the term YOU globally. It always has been me against the world. What, are you new to this space?

So, it's like Summer and yet it is October..and Springsteen is coming and he is bringing his band. I bought so many damn tickets (6) and now I just want a small fee for them. I am selling four for a small but tidy profit. Enough so that the ticket for my ass is just about free.....And I sold the Bills/Dallas tickets for a real nice profit...So, the next three games are mostly free...for the B. Time's aint tough, by any means, but if they were, I'd have some practice in how to still have some fun in them.

So, it's the Boss, in Toronto. I got the General Admission seats. Taking the day off, turning them fricking clocks back...way back......mmmm.......

1985: Springsteen.......3 and 1/2 hour show....Me, a teenager, horny as hell....Springsteen singing about chicks, cars and....whatthefuckever.....Me drinking.....smoking...toking and scanning the crowd for what might appeal. We had back row seats of our section and they backed onto the area where large amount of folks walked by. We asked every goil who appealed to join us. We were sitting in a row of benches...no set seats...Nobody sat the whole night...We stood on the benches all night. Surely there would be enough room for something nice to slide on in.....

They hopped on up as soon as they were invited. They were older than us. They were in grade 11....us grade 9....We scored so much....Bruce rules!!!!!!!!!!!

So, now, here I am......39 and the Boss much older. He don't sing about chicks n cars anymore. Sometimes he pulls that shit out of the vaults but mostly he avoids such subjects.."Growin' up"...Yet, and somehow, it seems that the MAGIC that Springsteen will be bringing to Canada in two weeks time will most assuredly include so much of the frivolous..so much about turning them clocks back, even if only for two and a half hours...He is speaking about so many heady subjects of late and you best know I care and follow along quite close......But, for some odd reason, this time just seems like it really is for the fun of it. For the dance, for the beat.

I might even leave my scowl and my shaking fist at home.
