Working out with Bruce Springsteen

Not a huge fan of The Boss. He was always too stripped down, too jeans and a t-shirt, plain kind of guy. I live with that, that is my husband's uniform, why pay fto see that? I always liked a bit more drama, more of a show.
Bruce Springsteen shows were like you go to a show and the singer didn't come and some crazy guy got onstage and just started singing. His music was too rock and roll-y, and the concerts like a party onstage that I was not invited to. I could only watch them having a good time. I was stuck out in row 97 somewhere. The songs were endless too, with solos for all of his fellow partiers on stage. "Now a ten minute tambourine solo... yeah!"
So when I went to work out today at the clubhouse at my apartment complex, and the only music on any channel was Bruce Springsteen live, I was torn. Listen to music on my phone that I have listened to a zillion times? Listen to The Boss.
Well, I do like "Glory Days."
So there I was, I worked out while Bruce worked out. My goodness does he work out! His shirt was soaked. He contorted his body and face just like I was while I was trying to do that last sit-up.
I still wouldn't say I am a huge fan of The Boss, but he won me over. Everyone onstage was having fun and he was really working it. Yeah. He's a regular guy having the time of his life with his friends. That's pretty cool, even though he didn't do "Glory Days."
