“Cover Me” by Bruce Springsteen
Startin’ off strong with Bruce. BRUUUUCE! If you know, you know. My love for Bruce can completely, fully, 100% be attributed to my dad. He’s almost all we’d listen to in the car together — well, Bruce and “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel. Bruce just gets it: growing up in Kansas, working dead-end jobs, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Blue collar work becomes digestible while listening to the album “Born in the U.S.A.” More seriously, you are the smartest man I know, Dad. Bruce is small in comparison to all the qualities we share that I love. Thank you for working so hard to get me to where I am today. I’m not going to disappoint!
