Cheers to the Good Ol' Days

I like to write about the past, present and hopes for the future. Who inspires me and why. And, sometimes the cost of an experience. But, usually in all of my experiences, it is the serendipity of the moment that capture my heart. I have had many moments this year. Mostly, running into really meaningful people in my life at unexpected times. Most days I just shake my head thinking, I really needed to see that person. Yesterday, was like that, but thrown in the middle was an experience I forgot about. It was ridiculous. But, I forgot how hard it is to get a Springsteen ticket. In the old days it took up your time, because you waited in person in lines. And, this experience was shared with me over and over again, when I had my store, Greetings from Geralyn in Convention Hall in New Jersey. Then I would hear how many times fans had seen Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Then I started asking questions, expecially for anyone who attended in the pit. Then in 2012 I was lucky enough to make an effort, shell out the money, and scored four GA tickets. Well my friends, those days are over!!! Seriously, what a shame. I am not saying I won't try again. But, for the same reason, I did not see Springsteen on Broadway. This tour isn't any different. I did get a code, but it is for next week. I am on vacation, but I have been asked to attend a meeting for work.......AT the VERY SAME TIME! And, for the next four years work world still rules my priorities. I wouldn't have the money to buy this ticket, if it wasn't for work. So, all that comes to mind is the words from Bruce Springsteen Badlands: Quote of the Day: "Working in the field till you get your back burned Working 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned Baby, I got my facts learned real good right now You better get it straight, darling Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got" I don't want to be king. I don't want to work all week for the price of a ticket. I just want to hear thousands of people yell these words back to the Artist who wrote them. I don't want to be in credit card debt, I just wanna have some fun and see kindred spirits who want to do the the same. I have a code for next week......wooopee!!! But, I know how I like to spend my time and it is not in quere on a computer that says I have 2,000 plus people in front of me who want to buy a ticket. I hope my friends on facebook do score tickets, and I look forward to seeing their experiences, because I know how precious they are. Sharing my favorite song, that changed my life. And, it is my favorite to not even sing, but to yell at the top of my lungs. Especially, when driving alone in my car. Song of the Day: Badlands by Bruce Springsteen
