Love is Wild, Babe

"He looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love" – Clarence Clemons

A good band is made of people who like each other. A great band might even have messy relationships, but to vanishingly few bands have what you do: true, honest to whatever deity you pray to, love. You can call it whatever you'd like, but deep down you both know you were meant for each other. You knew from the moment you met. That was half a lifetime ago. You're older now, and the farewell tour has been a whirlwind. Tonight is your last show. Everyone is expecting the hits, not a new song, but the two of you are here—music barely memorized—ready to tell your story. 

Inspired by the deep and abiding love between Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons you will play as members of a soon to retire band whose careers have been intertwined by their long-lasting love for each other. It is up to you to decide details. Things like how that love manifests in private and in public, how it has changed as you have gotten older, and how you tell your story to the world at your final show together.
