Tunnel of Love

1) Do you enjoy amusement park rides?

I do not like spinning, so Disney's teacups and that sort of thing is right off any list, but rollercoasters I don't mind much. Water rides are fine, and I love merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels. Heights don't bother me either.

2) In this song, Bruce likens romance to riding through the tunnel of love. The Red Hot Chili Peppers sing about a "Love Rollercoaster." What amusement park ride reminds you of your relationships?

Let's go with that Ferris wheel concept.

3) Bruce's nickname is The Boss. Who was your best boss? What made him/her a good supervisor?

My best boss was the one who retired about four years ago now. She was far from perfect but the good outweighed the bad in a big way. I always knew she had my back with problem patrons, and she stayed very calm under stress, which was lovely when I was the one stressing her. My current boss is shaping up to be pretty good too. {fingers crossed}

4) Bruce's father was a bus driver and his mother was a legal secretary. What professions did/do your parents work in?

My mom worked as a county court clerk. My dad was a builder, and an architect, and a Realtor, not always at the same time.

5) Bruce met his wife Patti at a bar in Asbury Park. Do you believe you can pick up lasting love in a bar?

Well, obviously, it does happen, yo.

6) Springsteen was unable to work for years because he was embroiled in a lawsuit with his management company. Have you ever been sued, or sued someone else?

Yes.

7) Bruce won an Oscar for writing the title song for the Tom Hanks movie Philadelphia. Do you have a favorite Tom Hanks movie?

I haven't seen most of them, but I'm kinda partial to "Castaway."

8) Bruce's official Twitter account (@springsteen) has more than 389,000 followers. Do you tweet? If so, how many people follow you?

I have a Twitter account that mostly goes unused. It's too distracting.

9) Bruce's drummer, Mighty Max Weinberg, led the band on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Who do you think is funnier -- Conan or Jay Leno? Or are you looking forward to Jimmy Fallon?

I don't watch any of these shows, have not watched them except accidentally since Johnny retired. They are really not funny. To me.
