As the Claremont Courier reported last week, Springsteen superfan Scott Glovsky took his son to Tuesday’s concert at the L.A. Sports Arena.
The Glovskys showed a homemade poster saying: “Bruce, I will be late to school tomorrow. Please sign my note. :)”
“As Bruce wrapped up his 3 1/2-hour performance, he looked up and saw Xabi’s sign. Mr. Springsteen then pointed out the father and son to one of his bodyguards. A few minutes later, a security guard came to the seats and escorted them backstage. … Mr. Springsteen then invited Xabi to have a seat.
“He asked him for the name of his teacher, and how he spelled his name. He then pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. As Xabi sat next to him on the couch, Bruce thoughtfully created this beautiful note.”
The note read: “Dear Ms. Jackson, Xabi has been out very late rocking & rolling. Please excuse him if he is tardy.”
“I have been singing Xabi to sleep with Bruce Springsteen songs since he was born,” Glovsky was quoted as saying.
The Courier said the tardy note came in handy because Xabi woke up about 10:45 Wednesday morning “with a big smile on his face.”

Woke up this morning to the harsh realization that I am not Bruce Springsteen and will never be nearly as cool.
