Legendary singer/songwriter Bruce Springsteen is many things to many people. To his kids, he's dad, so as a father he understands sometimes kids will bend the rules. Especially if mom or dad says it's cool.
A dad and his son rocking out late at a Springsteen concert last night were treated to the experience of a lifetime after Bruce brought them backstage after the show. Here's why...
"A 9-year-old rock fan up late at a Bruce Springsteen concert had a note for his teacher if he was late for class the next day - and it was signed by The Boss himself.
Fourth-grader Xabi Glovsky and his dad Scott attended the sold-out show in Los Angeles on Tuesday and they caught Springsteen's eye with a homemade sign that said: "Bruce, I will be late to school tomorrow. Please sign my note."
After the show, Springsteen invited the pair backstage where they posed for photos. And Bruce scribbled a note for the Claremont boy's teacher.
The note said: "Dear Ms. Jackson, Xabi has been out very late rocking & rolling. Please excuse him if he is tardy.'"
