1. His "one song" was a great answer; the sandwich, too

I think I would've said "American Tune".

2. I'm surprised he didn't choose one of his own songs, but he gave the classy answer...

3. That's why he's the Boss!

Fortunate to see him 3 times. Hard to beat a more energetic, fun show.

4. Oddly enough he is not one of my automatic go to artists,

love his music though, but he has to be the nicest, most shit together guy in the industry.

5. From my home to yours

If you have Sirius XM, Bruce has recorded almost 30 episodes of "From my home to yours" (on E Street Radio), where he shares various playlists on different themes - his summer-themed playlist included "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra, which Bruce gave as his "one song". Really interesting listening, and Bruce seems to listen to just about everything. I discovered an artist named Pokey LaFarge from a song that Bruce played in one of the episodes - really old-timey country-ish sound. (Yeah, I'm a fan).

6. I guess you are LOL. Thanks for the information!

I saw him live in concert once, must have been early on. He played in the gym at the University of Vermont where my brother was a student and he invited me, must have been about 1980. He performed numerous encores, was a huge hit, and because it was a relatively small venue, I remember that I was hearing impaired after that for a couple of days...
