I've never gotten to see The Boss live at all.  :(
Seen him twice.  Go.. totally worth it.  Just make sure you take your pee break when he makes his scheduled political rant right before the last couple of songs in the set. :)

One of my middle names is Adam and I'd really have liked to have had that as my first name, but I'm guessing it's a relative rare christian name.

I knew a couple of Adams in school.

Well yes it's much more popular now in the UK as well, around 34th most popular in boys names.

Whereas my own first name, Robert, has now dropped out of the top 100 altogether  :(

Harry and Oliver?  I guess the Brits love naming boys after their greatest tyrants.

What's interesting to me is how all the nicknames are taking place of the original names.

Also, I see where John went to. Got absorbed by Muhammad.
