From Bruce to Brisket

It’s Good Friday, Passover and Easter Weekend, a time for family, food and reflection.  While we prepare for all of these holidays  I also had the privilege of seeing Bruce Springsteen this week in concert.  I grew up with Bruce.  In fact, a friend of mine in  high school went to Monmouth College to be near the Jersey shore and the infamous clubs where he would play.  During the concert I could not help reflect on my memories of hearing each song for the first time.  Where was I?  Did I like the song?  How do I feel about it now.  I noticed young women singing along and dancing to the music and I thought, wow, this is how music stays current, poignant and important.  Each generation makes it their own, just as we did decades ago.
