My Life In a Moment: Lazy Day
What is your favorite way to spend a lazy day?
I would say I love to watch a movie or a documentary. I also enjoy catching something interesting on YouTube. I love to sort through my sports cards and also arrange playlists on iTunes.

Bruce Needs a Ride
FREEHOLD AMERICAN LEGION - MONMOUTH POST 54/FACEBOOK
The Boss needs a lift.
A group of men from the Freehold American Legion in New Jersey were riding their motorcycles after a Veterans Day event Friday when Dan Barkalow says he saw a biker pulled over on the side of the road with a broken vehicle. As he neared the motorcyclist, he realized it was none other than music legend Bruce Springsteen.
“I just pulled over and got off the bike and said, ‘Hey, I think I know you,'” Barkalow told the Asbury Park Press.
Barkalow and his two pals tried to get Springsteen’s bike running again. The dead battery on the 67-year-old rocker’s vehicle wouldn’t charge, so Springsteen hitched a ride on the back of Ryan Bailey’s bike to a nearby restaurant. The group grabbed a round of drinks while waiting for his ride, for which Springsteen picked up the tab.
Barkalow said they chatted about growing up in Freehold, bands and motorcycles.
“It was nice to help out,” said Bailey. “One Freehold person helping out another.”

Eric Church
The success of Eric Church's country single 'Springsteen' has not gone unnoticed by its namesake. It was recently revealed that Church got a handwritten note from Bruce Springsteen telling how pleased he was with the song.
The letter was delivered by Springsteen's tour manager, Wayne LeBeaux on Church's bus. "[LeBeaux] came on the bus and was telling me this story," Church told Billboard. "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.'"
Church, who took the note and locked it up in an undisclosed location for safe keeping, was thrilled to hear from the Boss. "It's a pretty incredible note," he continued. "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."
'Springsteen' reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and also crossed over to No. 19 on the Hot 100. The song is not about Bruce Springsteen, but about the power of music to call up memories of lost loves, in this case one that took crested at a Springsteen concert. Titles of four of Springsteen's biggest are referenced in the lyrics.
