Bruce Springsteen Stole My Wife

September 9, 2022

At first, I didn’t think much of it. A poster of Bruce on our bedroom wall, a few strains of Dancing In The Dark belted out during long, hot, steamy showers. It all seemed innocent enough. I mean, I have my Wang Chung obsession; why should I think twice about anyone liking a rock legend? But then came the albums and CDs and songbooks and DVD of videos. And why has the 2009 Super Bowl been listed as DO NOT DELETE on the DVR for over ten years? Then, casually, without suspicion: “I have a business trip next February in Florida.” Hmmm. According to VH1, that’s where Bruce is kicking off his 2023 concert tour with dates in Tampa, Orlando and Hollywood. Coincidence; it has to be. Then the subsequent trips scribbled in her date book… a family reunion in Dallas … a cousin’s wedding in Kansas City… a girls trip to Portland… all following the E Street Band tour schedule. The final straw? Well, as if that Patti Scialfa dartboard wasn’t enough, I casually mentioned starting my own business, saying I’d like to be my own boss, when she flipped out, held a butcher knife to my block and tackle and screamed, “There’s only ONE Boss! And you’ll NEVER be HIM!” Oh sure, the divorce lawyer says it’s all circumstantial but I know the truth and it’s killing me. I mean, how the hell am I supposed cope with this? It’s like – it’s like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul … what the bloody hell?! Damn you, Springsteen! You are the source of all my woes but only you can truly give voice to my pain. 

“Bruce Springsteen, You Stole My Wife!”
