Me and Bruce and 60,000 others - Hyde Park London

On the evening of July 14, 2012, I had a magical and uplifting experience with music at the center and Bruce Springsteen as the pied piper who brought 60,000 people together as one group united in the sheer joy of the moment. In London for 10 days, I called  my son's friend Dan Devita, who works with TKO/London. He invited me and my husband Marty to an evening concert. Dan arranged to get us on the guest list. It had been raining every day since we arrived, so the ground was thoroughly wet and the ground was so muddy, they shipped in tons of wood chips to place all over the grounds.

Carefully walking through the muddy
grounds, we met up with Dan who brought us up to a roped off VIP area with an elevated platform which gave us an awesome viewpoint and the rest was magic. What struck me most was hearing the different accents and languages being spoken around me.
The crowd was massive but totally respectful and polite. The music started and everyone moved with it. Bruce brought us all together as he played through his set list like it was the most fun he ever had and though the crowd was large, he seemed to connect with each of us as if we were all old friends. But weren't we?

 

Through the memories each song brought out, didn't we all know him and he us? Isn't that what great music is all about? When you hear a song and relate to it as if it was written especially for you? Yes!

 Thank you Bruce - for reminding me of the awesome power of music to bring people of all nationalities and backgrounds together as one. That night turned the flame up a little brighter in my soul and reminded me why I love using music to help kids and the awesome power it brings with it to heal, to inspire and to bring us all together. Special Angel Inc. has you as a role model of how it's done........plain and simple, with joy and sincerity...straight from the heart - you truly are The Boss!!

Many thanks to Dan Devita for a great evening with Bruce!!
