Via MyFoxBoston, who has video on the story:
A 5-year-old Mansfield boy who has spina bifida got his wish on Monday night: the chance to meet his idol Bruce Springsteen.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island fulfilled Carter Bernhard’s dream of meeting “The Boss.”
Carter’s family traveled to Boston in “rock star” style by limousine for a celebratory VIP dinner at the Hard Rock Café Boston before a meet-and-greet with the star.
After his rock-inspired dinner, Carter met with Springsteen for an hour while backstage and then enjoyed the show at the TD Garden from VIP seating.Prior to the show at the TD Garden, which was packed with 20,000 fans, Springsteen signed a guitar and played a private concert for Carter. [FYTB note: Bruce played “Waitin’ On A Sunny Day”—Carter’s favorite song—and “Tougher Than The Rest.”]
Carter as born with spina bifida and recently suffered some complications. As a result, he was forced to spend more than two months in the hospital.“Bruce Springsteen, that’s all he talks about actually. It was so overwhelming to him. He probably just couldn’t believe it,” Stephen Bernhard, Carter’s father, told FOX 25.
The Boss continues to amaze for how awesome of a human he is. Can’t wait to see him on Sunday.
Dirty Deal of the Day: Groupon rival LivingSocial is offering a rather humorously priced deal on a Cleveland Steamer.
What’s a Cleveland Steamer you ask? Well, apparently it’s a Cleveland-based carpet cleaning and deodorization service that fancies itself a romantic alternative to spa treatments and up-market dinner dates in Tremont.
It’s also the exact opposite of that. Also, don’t ask. And don’t Google it either. In fact, shut everything down, unplug your phone, turn off the lights, and sit silently in the corner for the rest of your life.

and its $69? This has ‘Matt Cohen’ written all over it.
Wish I could own up to that treasure trove of a deal.
