Editor's Note - September 2023

 

Hurry up, we’ll be late! That was me, in 1984, telling my roommate we had to get to Boss Night (that’s Bruce Springsteen, for those who didn’t live through the ’80s). At 10 p.m. on a Tuesday, we danced the night away in a jam-packed basement on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. Andy and Aileen McCormick would have loved that dance floor. And I loved living vicariously through their experiences of seeing Bruce live in concerts all over the world. This month, the McCormicks share their decades-long love of The Boss with The Buzz. Also in this issue, you’ll find a story of how a family, spread out over the globe, has remained connected through an intricate craft. You’ll also find a story of how a game helped tie together an unlikely group of friends. This issue is about friends, family, and all the ways we make it through. As always, our hope is to bring you stories that inspire all of us to see the world – and maybe dance in a basement. [email protected]
