That is how Bruce Springsteen introduced the Irish song "Mrs. McGrath" last night. Check out the lyrics to this beautiful and heartfelt song:

There was a political tone to a lot of songs Thursday evening in Asbury Park. It was the first of four "rehearsal" shows for the new Seeger Sessions tour. "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?" by Blind Alfred Reed, "Eyes on the Prize," and "Devils & Dust."

It was a magical evening from a man who makes me proud to be from Jersey, proud to be American, and proud to be a citizen of the World.
And all I can say to anyone lucky enough to be at the Jazz & Heritage Festival for Bruce's show on April 30th is that may be one of the great nights in New Orleans history.
