Took my youngest son to see BD at the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston. Sprinkled on us. Sprang for the 70 dollar T shirt. He got a big kick out of it all. It was the first Father Son Road Trip since the Mizzou introduction to the SEC . If you thought he was hoarse back in the day you should hear him now…

” So I’m just here tonight to say thanks, to say that I wouldn’t be here without you, to say that there isn’t a soul in this room who does not owe you their thanks. And to steal a line from one of your songs, whether you like it or not, ‘you was the brother that I never had.’ Congratulations.”
And Bluto was right, that was a “friggin’ gorgeous” song.
Bruce may not write better lyrics, but he can out-sing and out play the former Mr. Zimmerman (who also never surrounded himself with sidemen as good as the Big Man or Miami Steve.)
