June, 2016 Guest DJ on Sirius E Street Radio: Be the Boss!

6/3/2016

I applied for and was accepted to be a guest DJ on Sirius E Street Radio! This was such an honor I can't even begin to express. I had a very hard time deciding which stories to tell. And a couple of the ones I chose didn't not make it into the final cut. Here's the final version. If you don't want to listen to the music (I have no idea WHY you would want to skip that!) but the stories I tell are at the following time stamps:
Story #1 (0-1:50 Hiding out in the bathroom at Big Man's West, see pics below)
Story #2 (18:00 Meeting Bruce at the Fast Lane, see pic below)
Story #3 (37:35 The Springsteen Concert connection)

These are the pics from the opening night party at Big Man's West in Red Bank, NJ [taken with a 110 camera!] Absolutely worth waiting in the bathroom for 4 hours!

The pic below is from the very first time I met Bruce in Person...at The Fast Lane in Asbury Park...when I asked him for a KISS!!!

I have always dreamed of becoming a DJ. It is not really the best path to take, but I am really passionate about it. Even as a kid, I have always loved listening to the radio. Music is the best part of my life, and I just want to be able to share my love of music to the world. A DJ's job is to ensure that the people get the best music and that is what I aspire to do.

I have three life-long passions, and Bruce Springsteen is at the top of that list. I grew up in Freehold too, and I felt a connection as soon as I heard Born to Run at my friend Carol's house, when I was around 14. His music touched me. I've been to over 50 live shows, and have seen him play in bars, at the Jersey Shore.
Its not only about the music. His live shows are legendary..taking us to another dimension. For 4 hours, during the show, and for days afterwards, I feel like I've been injected with a dose of hope, love, inspiration, and connection with the universe...it's like having great sex. The more you get, the more you want. For the past 30 years or so, I've shared these moments with my best friend, Patty. Going to these epic shows with someone who "gets it"...is such a gift. So, I decided to post some memories and stories about my journey with Bruce, and with Patty. Enjoy!
