On June 21st 2012 I shall be in the Stadium of Light in Sunderland at a Bruce Springsteen concert! I thought the ideal way to tie that concert into a movie blog would be to pick 7 of The Boss’ songs for this special list!
I have to admit that I am very excited about seeing Springsteen in concert especially after finding out he’s going to be on the stage for a very impressive 3 and a half hours . . . I guess that’s exactly why he is The Boss!
The Wrestler – The Wrestler
Streets of Philadelphia – Philadelphia
Dead Man Walkin’ – Dead Man Walking
Secret Garden – Jerry Maguire
The River – High Fidelity
Hungry Heart – Risky Business/Wedding Singer
Growin’ Up – Gracie
Let's Go To The Movies 
Secret Garden in Jerry Maguire is my favourite.

It’s funny- I’m over here in New Jersey and saw him a few weeks later in September 2012. Bruce is a local (I teach near his old hometown) and I finally got to see him live for the Wrecking Ball tour. Very unassuming guy- he used to be on the boardwalk near our local beach all the time when my father was in college. You can’t beat The Boss for good movie music!

The Wrecking Ball tour was my first and I saw him again this year in Coventry. I lived in New Jersey in 2009, which considering Bon Jovi are my all time favourites as well as the Boss!

No kidding! Where in NJ? Yeah, Jon and Bruce are our local-boys-done-good stories. Jon set up a soup kitchen in my old hometown RIGHT after I moved away in 2014. I was so disappointed. My fiancee’s a big fan of his so we’ve seen him two or three times together but I finally got her to appreciate Bruce for Wrecking Ball. Have you read his new book? Haven’t gotten to it yet but my dad says it’s great.

I have the book but haven’t had a chance to start reading it yet.
I lived in Lincoln Park in North Jersey for almost 6 months!

No kidding! I was up that way a lot at that point when my fiancee and a couple of our friends were living in Hawthorne a few towns over. Small world!
