    I never knew Bruce Springsteen was such a nice down to earth bloke. I saw him on another video where he told a story about making friends with a kid at a cinema and going back to his house meet the kids mom and they had eggs. The kid went to get his album to show his mom it was really him. I’d only ever seen him on stage before. Such a cool fella.❤

    I am from NJ. I lived in Belmar until 1990. I moved south after they closed the bar I was working at for 7 years. Mary's Husband's Pub. I met Bruce a few times. Nice guy. The last time I said hi was in a club on Palm Beach. Clarence used to play there. Bruce showed up one night and played. That was in the late 90s.

      But you think Bruce is currently under a certain hormone treatment ( which you are also / same therapy )?
      What would that be, how is it working?
