Spike of Bensonhurst the Upper East Side


It doesn't get better than a Joan Rivers anecdote starring my friend's mom and The Boss!

Nina writes:
Decades ago. (Truly.) While my mother was renovating her apartment, she briefly moved into the Westbury Hotel. As chance would have it, both Bruce Springsteen and Joan Rivers and Mom were in the lobby one night. Torrential April sideways rain was drowning the city blocks. Joan needed to walk her Yorkie, Spike, and was dismayed. Bruce approached her and offered to help a damsel out of distress. He walked her dog around the block under a hot dog stand sized umbrella borrowed from the doorman. She turned randomly to my mother and referred to his chivalry but who was that man she entrusted with her prized pooch. I'm sure my mother would have answered Rick but the doorman stepped in and said he was The Boss.
