So, Springsteen played this fabolous acoustic version of The Promise, the one I’m most attached to for a zillion reasons, in Milan. I was there, but I don’t believe it. You can hear my tears flowing and my feelings fainting; I was emotionally devastated. Usually a Bruce Springsteen concert is indescribable, but a 3 hours and 40 minutes long Bruce Springsteen concert with such setlist, crowd and general happiness on stage is even more.

Come here, let’s hug. I was a freaking mess too, my brother. (“Because we made a promise we swore we’d always remember”…)

I saw Bruce Springsteen live in Milan last night. It was my 6th Bruce gig. This is the email I sent my husband when I got back:


“my love,
Last night’s show was 3 hours and 40 min long: 2nd longest ever Bruce gig! It was AMAZING. He played The Promise, and 60000 people were crying like babies. (I was) Then we got two encores, and grown men were dancing, kissing, hugging, it was pure joy. The back ache is also epic, but my god. There’s a reason why we believe in this guy like he’s some sort of Messiah-he sings that “faith will be rewarded” and boy do we need to hear that these days. I’m glad I have such faith in this stuff, it never ever lets me down. I saw Mattia at the end, so sweet. A pity you weren’t there, but in some way you were, like everything and everyone I carry in my heart always - “we carry the fire/we are alive”. Have a good day. I love you.”

Open your ears, open your hearts. Don’t take yourselves too seriously and take yourself as seriously as death itself. Don’t worry. Worry your ass off. Have iron clad confidence. But doubt! It keeps you awake and alert. Believe you are the baddest ass in town and you suck. It keeps you honest. Be able to keep two completely contradictory ideas alive and well in your heart and head at all times. If it does not drive you crazy it will make you strong. Stay hard, stay hungry and stay alive.

I don’t need no god when I’ve got my Boss.
