Bruce Springsteen: the last man standing.

On Halloween, the pride of New Jersey rock ā€™nā€™ roll shook a Montreal arena with a show that lifted the veil between here and the everafter.

It might not seem like it, but Bruce Springsteen is going to die.

I know; itā€™s a weird thought. The guy is 75 years old, and still puts on three-hour-plus-long shows, without pauses or intermissions. His stamina and spirit put the millennial work-from-home class, whose backs hurt because we ā€œslept weirdā€ or ā€œforgot to use our ergonomic keyboard,ā€ to absolute shame. He leaps and bolts and howls and throws his Telecasters high in the air. No doubt it helps to have access to the best healthcare money can buy, but still, thereā€™s no denying that heā€™s a specimen of human physical excellence. And yet, Bruce, like the rest of us, will pass from this plane.
