Terence Reilly - President of Stanley talks The Boss

Terence Reilly sent me an email after the Orlando show, here is part of it "despite the negative noise around all things Bruce and my own hefty dose of skepticism, I left reborn, renewed and re-dedicated and ready to call Ticketmaster for another few shows (hello, Seattle!) thanks to last night’s rock and roll exorcism, rock and roll baptism and rock and roll bar mitzvah. So, thank you Bruce Springsteen and the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, house-rocking, earth-quaking, booty-shaking, Viagra-taking, love-making, history-making, legendary E STREET BAND! I’m ready to grow young again." He and I had an amazing discussion. Please enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
