More than four decades into his music career, Bruce Springsteen is still playing concerts so lengthy that they test the endurance of even the most well-cushioned of fan ass cheeks. CL staff writer Thomas Wheatley, who describes his ass as boyish, won CL’s office ticket to Springsteen’s sold-out show at Philips Arena. Wheatley describes the concert as “awesome†and “fucking intense.â€
At his seat, he says, he was surrounded by middle-aged dads who stood with their arms crossed mouthing every word Springsteen sang. Wheatley also reports that when Springsteen sang “Blinded By The Light,†a cut from his debut album famously covered by the Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, that the lyrics sounded more like “rolled up like a deuce†than “wrapped up like a douche.â€
