Tunnel of Love
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've
committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.
Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be
totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We
encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we
don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however,
and here is today's meme!
1) Do you enjoy amusement park rides?
I love them! I miss my stepson and I riding silly rides on Santa Monica Pier.
2) In this song, Bruce likens romance to riding through the tunnel of love. The Red Hot Chili Peppers sing about a "Love Rollercoaster." What amusement park ride reminds you of your relationships?
Actually, those rides do. I had a great relationship with El and Noah, and a marriage I never imagined would end.3) Bruce's nickname is The Boss. Who was your best boss? What made him/her a good supervisor?
Brian Schultz. He was on top of things. The restaurant or the kitchen or the bars were EVER dirty. If you were there and intended on staying on the clock, you better be cleaning SOMETHING. He was strict but he cared about his employees just as much as the bottom dollar and the members and board. I'm still friends with his exwife, so I get to still hear about him from time to time.4) Bruce's father was a bus driver and his mother was a legal secretary. What professions did/do your parents work in?
my dad was a letter carrier for 35 years. In that time he was also an arbitrator for the Post Office and was the Union President. My mom taught learning disabled kids for 30 years.
5) Bruce met his wife Patti at a bar in Asbury Park. Do you believe you can pick up lasting love in a bar?
Obviously, they did it! Its not for me anymore.
6) Springsteen was unable to work for years because he was embroiled in a lawsuit with his management company. Have you ever been sued, or sued someone else?
I love them! I miss my stepson and I riding silly rides on Santa Monica Pier.

9) Bruce's drummer, Mighty
Max Weinberg, led the band on The Tonight Show
with Conan O'Brien. Who do you think is funnier -- Conan or Jay Leno? Or are you looking
forward to Jimmy Fallon?
Jay, and I don't know. I don't watch late night TV.
Both of your parent are great. Taugh disable kids is incredible. :)
ReplyDeleteI just visited Santa Monica and the pier for the first time last autumn. My oldest friend took me there to help cheer me up after my mom died. I'd like to return sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm not into the late night TV thing either.
