Springsteen Makes Fan's
Dream Come True
By Lee McCain
Imagine you're a kid from Iceland whose greatest dream is to
meet Bruce Springsteen, and maybe play a song or two from The Boss' catalog. Well,
the Law of Attraction certainly delivered John "JoJo" Magnusson's
lifelong manifestation when Springsteen, who was walking from his hotel to a
nearby concert venue for a
soundcheck, stopped and entertained passersby with a fifteen
minute mini-concert. JoJo, needless to
say, was completely overwhelmed.
"It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen or experienced,"
he said, fighting back tears.
Fast
forward a couple of summers and you find yourself busking in the streets of
Copenhagen, Denmark, playing ― what else ― your favorite Bruce songs. And right in the middle of your version of My Hometown, you glance to your left
and see the man himself standing there singing along with you.
| BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN performs "I'm On Fire" on the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark with street musician, JoJo. | BRUCE AND JOJO perform one of Springsteen's biggest hits, "The River" on Stroeget in Copenhagen. |
Springsteen performed three songs with the street singer: I'm On Fire, The River, and Dancing in the Dark, before good naturedly encouraging the crowd to contribute cash to JoJo's guitar case.
