		      Thank you, Bruce

I just saw the Springsteen concert at Mile High Stadium in Denver.
65,000 people sat in the freezing rain just to be able to have the 
chance to party with the Boss.  I had to wonder... is all of this
excitement just because all these people want to party?  I don't
think so ; I think it's something more.  I can't quite put my finger
on it, but somehow, deep down, he makes you glad to be alive.  In 
one night, he takes you on a wild roller-coaster ride through your
entire life, reliving all the emotional ups and downs, remembering 
all the people you loved and all the people that loved you, crying
at the despair and the heartbreak, yet always holding on to the
fierce spirit inside you.  Some of his songs make you angry, some
make you cry, but all of them make you feel like you are his
friend, and not alone.  Here is a guy that could just sit back and
live off his past successes, could relax and take it easy, could
associate only with millionaires, but he doesn't and he won't.  He
lives to reawaken the good, positive energies inside each of us. 
Night after night, he gives himself to you, completely, utterly,
so that your whole life is better.  He is there for you, not the
other way around.  Isn't that the way we should all be?  I guess
that's his message -- he just wants to show you that it's 
possible for you, me, or anybody to do what's he's done, that he's
just like you or me, that he wants to share his life with you, and
make you a better person for it.  That we are all heroes.
If he can make you see that, then he has succeeded in doing what is
so crucially important to him -- he has made you feel the greatness
that's inside you.  And your dreams live on.  Thank you, Bruce.
