Happy 70th Birthday, Bruce Springsteen!
Happy 70th birthday to Bruce, you handsome New Jersey devil!
Growing up in Springsteen Country, I felt obligated to write of couple things about him…
… and also write some dumb tweets about him, a seriously good dude:
My favorite characters in Springsteen’s “Rosalita”
– Sloppy Sue
– Big Balls Billy
– Tetanus Tammy
– Action Park Pete

Bruce: 🎵He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy🎵Producer: “Um, don’t you mean fastball?”
Bruce: “Nah man, it’s called a speedball. Right guys?”
E Street Band: “Sure thing, boss!”
Producer: “But…”
Bruce: 🎵Saw him the other night🎵

In the 48 songs where Springsteen mentions a factory, 11 of them are actually about a Cheesecake Factory.

Oh Bruce, you’re so sweet

Um, what?
