rock n roll saved me once again
halloween is the day i first brought lucas to the hospital
the memory of this is crippling
today i finally got out of bed just past 1pm
wade texted me reminding me that springsteen was on stern
i wasn’t in the mood
but i threw it on during coffee prep
just for distraction
and of course i was pulled in
he sounded good
strong and wise
he reminded me of triumph over adversity
of the power of love
and the importance of a good work ethic
yesterday
jackson and i were talking about the rock n roll death cult
kurt and jim and jimi and all that
i told him it was all romantic bullshit
and that being your best for your family is what’s important
bruce said very same thing during his interview
and i was elated
i met bruce
backstage at madison gardens
i’ve written about this previously
i’m pretty sure we’re best friends now
and that my yearly birthday card just gets lost in the mail
nevertheless
the stern interview was like having an old friend over for lunch
as we age
it’s confirming to see many of our similarities converge
we are not in it alone
in fact we are often all able to connect through conflict
having bruce articulate this was healing
i fucking hate halloween
but not as much today
rock n roll saved me
once again
