Speaking of Bruce Springsteen, he’s coming to LA on Thursday 4/26/12 and Friday 4/27/12, and to celebrate, I’ll be posting about his new album The Wrecking Ball as well as getting a review from my husband who is a HUGE fan and has been to over 100 shows. Friday night our 8 year old son will be going to his first Springsteen show and I am sure he will come home as hoarse as my husband as they sing/shout along with all the songs…
