Inspiration Comes in Many Forms

Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons

Last week Julie and I had the opportunity to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Stree Band in concert.  We’ve seen him before, but it has been many years (25 to be exact), so I was worried that he would not live up to my memories.  Well, that was not the case.  He performed with a level of energy and passion that defies his 61 years of age.  I remember the first time I saw him in 1977 (photo).  I was amazed at his (and the whole band’s) amazing level of energy.  He was an inspiration to me then, and he still is today.  How wonderful that someone can do what he loves to do, get paid very well for it, and still do it with so much passion, committment, and love for his work.  Thanks for the inspiration Bruce.  My photos are better because of you.
