Our love is real.
I could never really put into words the last couple of days. They were...woah. I've been in Milan so many times and I never saw the church. THE church. And on tuesday I finally made it there. After getting lost...a couple of times. Hah. Undergrounds can be a challenge if you have to change trains and if you don't have them at home. We made it though! But here's the thing I was nervous the entire time, looking over my shoulder. The ammount of army, heavily armed, walking up and down the town square...it's downright terrifying. I get it you know. Safety first but fuck it's scary. Hell I lived next to an army base and rarely saw any army at all now they're patroling the streets and doing body checks at the church. At times like this it becomes real. The treath. The fact that we don't live in a safe world anymore. And I hate it. Freedom is something all people deserve it's their right and something - someone taking that away...should be the worst kind of crime there is.
Either way. The church is amazing. When you walk in all you can really do is gasp, the architecture, the stain glass windows, the music playing inside...woah. It's amazing. Artisticly speaking of course not religiously...
But that was not even the highlight of my week. It was the concert later on. I always knew concerts in Milan are special. Ever since I saw Bon Jovi at San Siro stadium I knew. There's something about Italian crowd, the fan clubs and actions, the way musicians just love Italy. There's something very special between bands and Italy. A special bond. It's pretty cool not going to lie. It was hot. Hot as hell. Prancing around the stadium in the heat was a bit of a torture... I respect the fans that were there on the heat for hours to get the front row. Dedication at it's finest. Props to you guys. I'm still waiting for my chance to have the front row seats and maybe touch ''God'' someday. Ha ha. I had amazing seats I can't complain. All thanks to my concert guy, he always gets best tickets and there's no words to describe how thankful I am for him. So Boss was on time started a little over eight and played almost four hours. He is amazing. Beyond amazing he is just...I don't even know perfect? Divine? The connection he has with his audience...he took a lot of requests from the front rows. And I do mean A LOT. And it never fails to amaze me how when he says ''shhh'' the entire stadium of what 70 000 people falls silent? The control he has over all of us...amazing. And then the band...the band! Not just a band but literally the band. He has to have some of the best musicians on the planet because his heart-stopping, pants-dropping, love-making, earth-quaking, Viagra-taking, legendary E Street band is beyond words. No words do them justice. Baby Clemons is insanely talented, both guitars and the piano, such perfection. I found myself sitting with open mouth staring barely believeing what I'm seeing. And then there's that song...that one song that I believe changed everything. Not just generally but for me too. I feel like if I loved him before that song made it official and forever. Which one? The River of course. It's just...so perfect and hearing it live was surreal. I was actually sitting down in a daze and there were some tears in my eyes when he fell silent and every single person on the stadium sang with him. It's just something you can't describe you have to see it for yourself. Like a friend of mine said ''once you see the Boss you know you fucked up for life because you'll never enjoy another concert as much and one will never be enough''. Well he's fucking right, nobody comes near the Boss and two times that I was blessed enough to see him wasn't nearly enough. Tickets cost a small fortune that much is true but he is worth every single cent because it's not just music it's not just an evening it's an experience an event, it can change your views on life, the world. I know he made a huge impact on me, changed me, and because of his music I look at some things a lot different then I would without him. And I'm thankful you know...take a look at the world, at all the lifetimes, the years, the ''era's'' and yet I was blessed enough to live the same time as him. Forever thankful for that. Now I'm rambling aren't I? Point is I love a lot of music but nobody has or will ever have Bruce's part in my heart. It's special and all his. Bottom line, Bruce thank you so much for this experience, for this magical night. It was amazing and I'll never forget it. Thank you. For everything you give us.
Now I'd just like to take a quick moment for something that y'all probably already saw. I'm late to the party. BUT! Steven Adler preformed two songs on stage with Guns n' Roses. And I can not express how happy I am. Part of it is selfish because there's nothing I'd want more then ALL of the boys back for good but most of it it's happiness for him. I knew he wanted this. He deserves it and I couldn't wipe the huge smile off my face watching him smiling while playing. He looked so happy and I was just...estatic. I'm so proud of you Stevie, life wasn't easy but you made it through and honestly you are my inspiration to be better.
Picture says a thousand words they say and I believe this one says even more. I'm so happy you're back Stevie and I sure hope you're here to stay.
Alright guys. Enjoy the weekend see you on monday for more ramblings about my favorite music! Stay safe.
