OT: B Street Band

[RUaMoose]

Singer for Springsteen cover band Glenn Stuart passed away. I used to catch them a few times a year at Jenks on Sunday evenings. RIP.

As Warren Zevon said knowing his days were numbered And asked for advice on how to handle an early death: "Enjoy every sandwich."

A broader meaning for that is to enjoy every day and most every moment. Laugh, have fun and be kind to others.

RIP to the B Street Band singer. Never saw them.

Saw them a lot in the early 80s when they were Backstreets - before his time with the band. Less often recently. A shame Glenn passed away. I was surprised to read that he never met Bruce.

I would see them numerous times down the shore... Sunday nights at the Headliner before I headed back north.

The band couldn’t arrange for the party unfortunately
