So you’re skipping school because you went to a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert and you’re concerned about getting in trouble because of your absence? Don’t worry, the Boss has got you covered.
According to one adult female fan who attended Springsteen’s show in San Francisco on Sunday, March 31, a young girl standing near her held up a sign that read, “Skipping School, Sign My Note?,” and Bruce was happy to oblige.

The woman posted a video on her Facebook page capturing Springsteen holding up the note and then signing it for the girl, after which, he handed it back to her and blew her a kiss. A couple of photos of the incident also were included in the post.
The post was accompanied by a note that read, “No words!!!!! To be in such close proximity to greatness was more than I had ever expected. Bruce knelt down directly in front of me to sign a school excuse for the little girl behind me…”
Of course, it’s worth noting that there’s no guarantee the young girl’s tardiness or absence at school will be excused by her school because of the note, but it doesn’t hurt to try.
Springsteen’s Has Signed Other School Notes for Fans
Meanwhile, Ultimate Classic Rock pointed out that Springsteen has signed similar notes for young fans at a couple of previous concerts.
In 2016, Philly.com reported that a man named Mike Finerty attended a Springsteen book-signing event with his son Michael, where he asked the Boss to sign a note for the kid asking for his absence from school be excused.
Also in 2016, a nine-year-old fan named Xabi Glovsky who went to see Springsteen in Los Angeles got Bruce to sign a note asking for him to be forgiven for being late to school the following day.
