Eric Church's Song.. "Springsteen"

When Bruce Springsteen's assistant and road manager Wayne LeBeaux attended Church's concert on August 19, 2012 in Gilford, New Hampshie, he bought with him a gift from The Boss. "(LeBaux) came on the bus and was telling me this story," Church recalled to Billboard magazine. "As they were leaving the Fenway show, (Springsteen) said, 'Wayne, what are you doing this weekend?' 'I'm going to see Eric Church.' "No kidding,' and (Springsteen) took out a set list and wrote me a great note, filled up the whole back of the set list talking about how he was a fan of the song, how his family was a fan of the song. He signed it and said 'I hope we cross paths somewhere' and told (LeBeaux), 'Make sure you deliver this to Eric.'" "It's a pretty incredible note," continued Church. "It's the first time I've officially heard from him. I had heard he was a fan of the song, but it's the first time I officially heard. It means the world to me - and the set list is three hours and 37 minutes. That impressed me, too."
