Here's
a great email we received from a new
fan!
I met you last night at the OC Fair
thanks to your friend Kari. Your humility and dedication to
putting on a great show was inspiring. I'm the big guy in
black who just HAD to hug ya! Lemme just run down what I
really liked about your show.
First, the entrance of all the band members chuggin' away
on "Saint.." was really cool...I couldn't get over the
drummer looking so much like Max and your sax man looking
like Clarence. Then in YOU walked and I went...WHOA!
Springsteen from the 70s...he LOOKS LUST LIKE HIM! So I
settled in and kicked back for what I knew was gonna be a
great show. The highlights for me were "Tenth Ave...",
"Backstreets", "Jungleland", "She's the One", "Rosalita",
"Thunder Road", "Spirit in the Night"...aw...kid you better
get the picture! I LOVED the whole damn show!
The thing I really dug was the fact that you didn't just
play "the hits"...you did tunes that only a true
Springsteen fan would appreciate...like "Growin' Up" for
example. And then you did the cool rap in the middle that
reminded me of the Live 75-85 album. I was surprised how
much you sounded like Bruce when you were speaking as well
as your moves and mannerisms. For a couple of times I
really felt like I was in a time machine watching Bruce at
his classic beginnings when he was young and hungry. Let's
face it Josh, you NAILED it!
Meanwhile your band was GREAT! I couldn't believe that you
even ATTEMPTED "big" tunes like "Jungleland" or
"Backstreets"...and then you TOTALLY pulled them off. Very
very cool. Tell your band guys that they RAWK! And your
tribute to Danny Federici was very heartfelt...I noticed
you hesitated before you said his name...I held my breath
to see what you would do...and you did it. You're a class
act, Josh.
Your folks told me that you used to hang out at the Stone
Pony and sit on the steps next to Bruce outside when you
were a kid. Well, some of his DNA must have rubbed off on
you because you and your band were unbelievable. I'm gonna
be going to Irvine to see you in August.
This is effen GREAT! Now I can see Springsteen a lot more
often and get my fix and inspiration without waiting as
long! Thanks Josh! And thanks for being a down to earth,
nice family guy who doesn't have big head or an ego the
size of Jersey...although I wouldn't blame you if you
did...BOSS! It was a real pleasure to meet you.
I sincerely wish you much continued success and all the
blessings this life has to offer you and yours...
See you next month!
A friend and a fan
