He puts on a GREAT concert! You can tell the band is having fun.

But, the guy in front of me, turned around and threw up on my shoes.

Haven't ever experienced that, thankfully.

Must have been incredible seeing Bruce in that era though!

Not exactly a song of patriotic celebration…

And just thought I'd wave a flag and say "Hell Yeah" like Reagan did when he used this song.🙄🙄

Of course I've listened to the lyrics. And no, I did NOT intend this as a patriotic celebration. I meant it exactly the way Bruce intended.

I assumed most folks who frequent Music Appreciation would get it.
