    No matter what happens from here, this young man will never forget this moment.

    I like the facial expression on Mr Springsteen's face - so honest, full of joy and good mood. Extremely valuable...
  • Do you think that may have made that young man’s entire life. How compassionate, how beautiful
  • The composure this kid had. Can you imagine singing inches from the Boss's beautiful face.

    Springsteen grew up poor. I was three years behind him in Jersey. His family could never have the house that my parents had, and my parents were not rich. He grew up in a half of a duplex in Freehold, miles to the south of me. I often went as a kid to NYC, a bus-ride away, and my mother loved the art shows in Greenwich Village. I love the picture of him, a teenager, standing outside the Cafe Wha? in the Village, and the carousel on his album is the one I used to ride at the shore. He's a solid Jersey guy, humble and thankful for his blessings. He is a remarkable talent in his craft, but in addition, I know that he has that Jersey heart of helping others and never getting too big for his britches. I don't know him personally, but I know him as a homeboy.

    Bruce looks like a proud grandfather who sees his grandson preform for the first time!

    Bruces face is a delight when he realises the kid can do it.

    That was brilliant Brought tears to this old man's eyes.

    Ok. That was freakin cool. Kid was calm as hell. I’d be freakin out
  • In these particularly dark times that has just put the biggest smile on my face.
  • If this really was totally unprepared and unrehearsed, it is one of the most beautiful musical moments I have ever seen and heard in my life. And even if it were prepared, I don't care a bit, it still is most beautiful and absolutely magical.
  • Woke up with a headache and backache. Somehow they're gone now. That's our history and our future up there.
  • Bruce once passed me busking, I was playing a version of hungry heart that I kinda come up with myself. Good musicians deserve that credit. Him and Patti left a decent tip. Ten minutes later he come back took me to a music shop and bought me a new guitar. He's a brilliant guy.
  • @jennarcis
    The guts this kid had! He will succeed at anything ❤
  • That is something that young man will never forget when he sitting in his rocking chair in his 90s he will still tell the story of the Bruce Springsteen concert. Thanks Bruce
