“Everybody really misses something,” said Bruce Springsteen on a recent one-hour E Street Radio special. “What do you miss? I miss going to Max’s and the Windmill and getting a hot dog. I miss walking along the promenade and beach boardwalk in Asbury Park. I miss sitting at the bar and having some beers and drinks with some friends.” He also says he misses baseball. That must be huge for fans, the void of missing games. I don’t know a lot about Springsteen, but these humble answers seem bang on with what I’d expect. And really, aren’t we all missing more or less the same things? A favourite local restaurant, a comfortable mosey along a familiar street, a clinking of glasses at a neighbourhood bar.
