If you don't know who the Boss is, you should probably leave right now. If you are stubborn enough to stick around and don't know who it is then here you go. It is Bruce Springsteen. The Boss.
You don't get a name like that for being a weak, low energy song writer who does nothing more than get famous due to your looks and the media hype. He has earned that title and after seeing him 2 times in concert it is very clear why.
At 61 (ish) he rocks out harder than any concert I've seen Including Green Day, Sum 41, Alexisonfire, No Warning and Protest the Hero and I think I could argue that he rocks the hardest of anyone. He is the best show I've ever seen.
On stage you can see the transition from a normal coloured light grey shirt to a sweat soaked dark grey shirt over the course of the 2 hour show. Yep 2 hours which doesn't include the 45 minute to 1 hour encore he did both times. He rocks harder and longer than anyone. Case closed.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to his music, you are losing at the game of life. If you ever get the chance to see him you NEED to so you can appreciate it in all its glory.
You may have noticed that I didn't talk about his music much, if at all, and there is a very good reason for it. I don't need to. Music like this speaks for itself. You won't find better diversity, lyricism or rockability anywhere.
Boss, here is to you and rounding out the month of beer and music. Cheers.
