What an amazing man — and in 50 years, he’s never let fame go to his head! I had the great good fortune to see him and his band and the great Clarence Clemons, right at the start of his breakthrough. In 1975, right after the release of “Born To Run,” he had just been made the cover story of both Time and Newsweek, only a month before. Not yet a big stadium act, he was on a tour of colleges and high schools, and mine was one of them! (which meant I didn’t have to beg my parents to let me go!) Would you believe, the price of admission was only $6 bucks?! Watta show — for his encore of “Rosalita,” he changed the lyric of “The record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance” to “Tell your daddy I ain’t no freak, ‘cuz I just made the cover of Time and Newsweek.”
