I really am not sure what captivated me most about seeing Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band live in Dallas this past Tuesday April 5th 2016. He seemed tired of the old hymns and I felt a deep sadness in the way we each couldn't let go of what was before this time. Still so much justice to accomplish. I wonder if his poetic lyrics work as salve on the wounds we still carry as a nation who struggles to pay laborers a living wage. Working three jobs to keep an apartment I still have my engorged vein on my right foot from workin part time jobs. Hurricane Ike hit our little island of Galveston September 13th 2008. Washed up onto Austin Shores we've experienced Urban Gentrification as the historical black East Austin is being changed by developers priced out of homes. Communitys are rallying around powerful truths. This is our home your changing. Inspiration to stand up for what is not lost and never forgotten, we all are supposed to think about each other not take from each other. This is what moved me about Bruce.
