Bruce Springsteen Writes Tardy Note For Kid At Concert

What a nice person. A nine-year-old boy at a Springsteen concert held up a sign about being late for school the next day and needing a tardy note. Bruce told his people to have the boy and his dad (a longtime Springsteen fan) come backstage after the concert and Bruce wrote the boy a very cute note indeed. Bruce is a dad himself, and a very nice guy it seems.

Of course he can excuse the boy's tardiness. After all, he IS the BOSS!

Awesome I could have used tardy notes from Bruce concerts at least 12 times while I was in High School!

They caught Bruce on a good day- he was such an obnoxious a$$ to the crowd when I took my son to see him in concert!! I haven't even been tempted to go to a Bruce concert since- and my son (now 23) wants no part of him!!!

Love the music, but have to admit I have heard the same thing, he was described as "mercurical".

@Ibby114 Sorry to learn that. Why treat fans that way? It's because of his fans that he's a wealthy man today. Dumb of him.

I've seen him many times in concert and so have many of my friends. He wasn't anything like what you described.

I've seen Bruce a ton of times with the E Street Band - he wasn't with the Band this particular time. Not even Patti! There is no masking the true persona when a performer is on stage solo.
