This week my son Matt was inducted into the National Honor Society in high school. Matt has autism and was nonverbal until he was 3. To say I’m proud of him is a gross understatement. This kid owns my heart and soul.
Remembering the iconic Prince on the 7 year anniversary of his death, with absolutely epic performance of Purple Rain including a mind blowing guitar solo from the great

Our last Springsteen show together. She’s been heavy on my mind. The Cook County ME called me yesterday. She still can’t determine cause of death. I had to rehash the last few months of her life. It was heavy. I feel heavy. But grateful for the time I had with her.

what is the best example of an artist dropping two albums in one calendar year?
How about the same day? March 31, 1992

Happy Birthday to the album that is my big brother by 3 months. Thank you for the most glorious soundtrack to my life. Glad you were born.

Loosely imagined as a series of vignettes taking place during one long summer day and night, "Born To Run" introduced "characters whose lives I would trace in my work ... for decades," Bruce wrote. The landmark album arrived on this day in 1975.

But when you leave group it’s a whole bunch of cliffhangers. Like I want to know if Susan’s son got off the needle and if John’s wife started sleeping in the same room again.

Remembering my sister on what would have been her 40th Birthday. We talked about all the fun things we were going to do today. I wish she would have stuck around. Miss her everyday. Glad I got to be her big sister for 38.5 years. HBD Kate. ❤️❤️❤️🎉
Happy big 75th Birthday to my Dad! It’s been a rough few years for our family but he’s been our rock though it all. Grateful and blessed to have him. Couldn’t have asked for a better one. 🎊
My sister has been gone 19 months today. She would have turned 40 this month. I’ve accepted it but I’m still mad about it. Can I do the grief steps out of order?
Happy 17th Birthday to my Matthew!! Times flies so fast. Pics from his first Lollapalooza when he was 5 and the Sox game last week. Life is an adventure and I’m glad he’s always up for one.

We received the final corner report for my sister in June. She took her own life. Please if you need help, reach out and find a helper. Don’t give up. Be present with your friends because this is what depression looks like. 💔

My daughter is thinking about taking a trip to Europe and she knew I did when I was her age with some friends and she asked me “how did you like staying in brothels?” I said “The word you are looking for is ‘hostel’ stay out of the brothels.” 😂😂

You’re Missing - Bruce Springsteen
This song makes me cry without fail. From The Rising album. Written in the wake of 9/11.
My baby, Fletch. Even though he’s wearing the Braves Fletcher shirt to the Sox game on Monday instead of the White Sox Fletcher shirt this kid will always be my favorite Fletcher.
My almost 17 year old son just helped me put out the Easter baskets for my 9 year old twins and was so excited to be on this end of it and my heart is so happy.
