Remember that moment in the Springsteen video when Bruce brings a ‘random member of the audience’ up to dance with him at a massive concert (and amazingly, it’s Monica from Friends)? This was just like that, only completely the other way around. Earl Thomas got down off the stage (easily a six-inch step) and danced [...]
