Why Bruce gets it

Ever wonder how some artists just seem to make a connection with their audiences, that they “get” it.

Something that happened at last night’s second Bruce Springsteen farewell show at the Spectrum shows the Boss knows Philly, what we like and what we don’t like, and how he is clued into our lives, not just our musical tastes.

At one point in the show Springsteen took the time to mention the passing of legendary Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas.

In fact, they played a bit that first popped up on Sportsradio 610-WIP in which they had Harry – and that signature voice – calling play-by-play on an imaginary home run by Springsteen. Bruce apparently actually trotted around the bases on stage as the audio was played.

Yep, he gets it.
