The Boss's 6Ps
Passion!
Persistence!
Partners!
Performance!
Painstaking!
Presence!
(Passion: Energy! Enthusiasm! Very visibly giving 1000%!)
(Persistence: Good years, bad years, lotsa years. Keep at it!)
(Partners: Bruce makes the E Street Band. The E Street Band makes Bruce!)
(Partners: Bruce "partners" with his audience—we are active participants in the show.)
(Performance: Good stuff! A brilliantly produced show per se!)
(Painstaking: A thousand details doth a great performance make!)
(Presence: In the age of ubiquitous downloads, etc., live performance matters!)

Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

I like how you mention "partners" because the band certainly supports him, yet he still allows the band to shine. Teamwork is the key!

Bruce had a great line on sixty minutes that sum up his passion---I can live with out being a rock star, but I CAN'T live with out the music. I think there lies the reason for his longevity and his total passion.
