Growin' Up and Glory

Bruce Springsteen - I fell asleep at night with dreams of rock ‘n roll glory in my head. here’s how one would go: The Stones have a gig at Asbury Park Convention Hall but Mick Jagger gets sick. It’s a show they’ve got to make but who can replace Mick?
Suddenly a young hero rises, a local kid right out of the audience. He can front. He’s got the voice, the look, the moves, no acne, and he plays a hell of a guitar. The band clicks, Keith is smiling, and suddenly, the Stones are not in such a rush to get Mick out of his sickbed. How does it end? Always the same … the crowd goes wild!

When he was young, Bruce Springsteen had a favorite fantasy of rock and roll fame and glory. Many spin these kinds of thoughts before they go to sleep. Did you?
