Today is my 3rd wedding anniversary. My wife is so wonderful that she had no issues with me traveling solo to Houston for last night’s Bruce Springsteen show, even though it meant that I would be absent for a big chunk of today. Well, I’m back now and I am dying to tell you all about the show– especially the fact that Bruce played “One Step Up” with the E Street Band for the first time since 1988. It’s one of my favorite Bruce songs, but to say that it would be a very bad song to analyze on my anniversary would be a huge understatement. Therefore, I’ll save my musings on “One Step Up” for another time and instead present a much more appropriate anniversary tune. Love you, honey!
