Bruce Springsteen is certainly known for his lengthy concerts, as “The Boss” has amassed a rich catalog of music over a long career. Thus, when one father took his fourth grade-aged son to a concert, they were sure to be late for work and school, respectively, the next day.

Last Tuesday, March 15th, at Springsteen’s concert in Los Angeles, father Scott Glovsky and son Xabi held up a sign saying “BRUCE, I WILL BE LATE TO SCHOOL TOMORROW PLEASE SIGN MY NOTE :)” Not only did the rocker respond, but he invited the Glovsky’s back stage for a quick meet and greet, not only signing a letter but writing his own too.

Check out the tweet from the father, below:


A full report in Backstreets sheds more light on the story.

“We waited outside Bruce’s dressing room, then he came to the door and invited us in. Although there were many musicians and celebrities at the concert, we were the first people to see Bruce after the show. He said, ‘There’s the big guy!’ to my son. It was just the three of us. He then said, ‘I understand that you need a note, I think I can help you out.’

“Bruce sat down on a couch and started to talk with Xabi, asking for the name of his teacher and how Xabi spelled his name, pulling out a piece of paper and a pen. As Xabi sat next to him on the couch, Bruce thoughtfully and artistically created this beautiful note. It was very interesting to watch the artist at work. They talked for a few minutes, and Bruce was incredibly nice, caring and gracious.”

Just further evidence that Springsteen is, indeed, The Boss.
