So, after watching the 60 Minutes report on Interpol, we got down to good stuff...The Boss.
The 60 Minutes journalist said to Bruce, "You're 58 years old. You've gotta be worth upward of $100 million...why do you still do this?" By "this" he was referring to touring, writing music, performing-being a rock star. I LOVE Bruce's response!
"What am I going to do? Garden?"
Love it! He's so right! Bruce gets his kicks from creating emotions in his listeners. He does that well-probably better than anyone else has ever done for this listener. But more than anything, he's not willing to sit back on his greatest hits, but he's cranking out new tunes. And Bruce's new stuff isn't like the latest release from REO Speedwagon. It's relevant, it's thoughtful and it's freaking good!
When I'm 58, I don't want to garden, either. I don't want to do anything other than what I'm doing now. Like The Boss, when I find something I love and others benefit from, I'll stick with it until I can't do it any more.

About Me
- Marcus Engel
- The facts: I’m 32, a professional speaker, author, and Orlando, FL resident. This blog is going to be a little bit of an extension of my web site, marcusengel.com, but with its own personality. Professionally: Here you’ll see a story you can’t get anywhere else. At 18 I was blinded and nearly killed when hit by a drunk driver. Through years of rehab and hours of reconstructive surgery, my goal was to return to college and recapture my life. And I did it. Now, I’m a professional speaker focusing on teaching audiences to overcome adversity, make intelligent choices and see obstacles as opportunities. Through all life experiences I choose to grow, evolve and learn. Now – the important stuff: I love to read, write, play music, explore new restaurants, meet new people, just live every day as if it may be the last. Because it might. Been there, done that, got the t shirt. You can’t sum up About me! in 500 words. No one can. Or, if they can, they’re boring. I’m not. So, read on if you dare. Then drop me e-mail. It’s always way cool to find out who’s out there!
