Sly Marton:
Let’s get this out-of-the-way right off the top. I realize I’m 53 years old, long past the age some would say where meeting your musical idols, if even possible, should be out of your system.
But Bruce Springsteen is more than just a musical idol to some, myself included.
“They”, whoever “they” are, say you should never meet your idols. “They” were wrong.
My friend Sly has been a lifelong fan of Bruce Springsteen. I’m so happy for her to have been able to meet him, even if for only a few brief moments. Read this story and ask yourself, what hero/idol would you like to meet? Or do you believe it’s true you shouldn’t meet your idols? I’m very glad Sly met hers.
Oh THAT “Boss.” I thought you meant George Steinbrenner. My bad.
“I realize I’m 53 years old, long past the age some would say…”
I fscking HATE that mindset. Good on him for not getting in his own way.
Her.
I know my idols are all human beings with complex personalities, that can’t be reduced to a simple description. I’m happy to say that what little I know of some of them stands up to scrutiny.
Well done, Ms. Sly.
Good for him. My wife is a Tramp and the best she has done with Bruce is squeezing his thighs in front of 20,000 of her closest friends. But she had a nice plane flight with Niles as her seat mate coming home from a concert (pure luck on her part).
