On Saturday I travelled to Cardiff to meet a friend to watch the BOSS (a.k.a Bruce Springsteen)…. and for 60 and the way his butt looked on the big screens I think he still has the right to be called the boss by the way he moves around the stage.<\/p>\n
After a very long trip to get there, I took the bus in fact, only after I had checked the internet to find out that the train was going to cost me \u00a358 one way (yes, that isn’t a typo, and its only about 2 hours down the railway line). So I called the helpline to check and yes that was right, so after making my point that it was extortionate I was told that it was something like a jump on day fare and that you are spose to book in advance. So that decided it, thank you very much I will take the bus for \u00a312 (or \u00a320 return if I had of wanted to bus back – but I didn’t need too as I was catching a lift). Anyway that’s enough about the travel there, lets talk about Bruce…..<\/p>\n
We had seats in the work corporate box in Millennium Stadium (which were expensive, but I had never been before so it was quite fun, and the drinks were included in the ticket). The concert itself, what can I tell you, he started about 40 mins late, which went down like a lead balloon, and he only played about one song from his old stuff and the rest was from his new stuff (so a slight disappointment there), however that is not to say that his new stuff isn’t any good, cause it is! But I am not sure he really ever recovered from his faux pax, of saying, ‘its great to be in England’ – he was booed for about a song after that!<\/p>\n
The work box itself was great, and the music wasn’t bad, it just would’ve been nice to hear some of his older stuff as it was so good. All in all we made the most of it and had a good time. It made for a very long trip back in the car on Sunday trying to learn Spanish from CD’s and then when back in central London at one point taking about 30 mins to go 1 mile. Next trip to the box is hopefully to go and watch some sport there (if I am lucky enough), it would be great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
