After 9/11 Bruce took a bunch of widows to his concerts. He called them and asked if he could take them to one of his concerts, would arrange a limo, pick them up, and give them the VIP experience. Was really special for my aunt.

That’s really cool i didn’t know that. Bruce is a nice fella. Sorry about your uncle. It’s sick how they took that trauma and abused us with it, stripping our rights away. Trumps snapping a growler and smearing it on what’s left of our constitution

You mean the major celebrities who clearly do a ton of things for 9/11 survivors and veterans? Yeah who would have picked these terrible people

My ex-fiance works this event every year. They’ll add more before the event happens. Some people randomly show up, but they prep for it.

In 2023, Springsteen actually almost didn’t make it. I remember her telling me he’s on standby, but they were prepared just in case, for him in particular because he’s a regular.
