"Wow, this was very moving.
"Last Sunday, Bruce Springsteen won a special Tony award for his one-man show Springsteen on Broadway. At the awards show, he performed a version of his old song My Hometown, with added reminiscing about the Catholic faith of his childhood (you can watch the video below).
"'We lived spitting distance from the Catholic church,'
Springsteen began in the powerful number, 'the priest's rectory, the
nun's convent, the St. Rose of Lima grammar school. All of it just a
football's toss away, across the field of wild grass.
"'I literally grew up surrounded by God. Surrounded by God and all my relatives.
We had cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, great-grandmas,
great-grandpas – all of us, were jammed into five little houses on two
adjoining streets."
A recent Church Pop post highlighted this presentation by "The Boss."
