A Brisbane teenager fulfilled the dream of a lifetime when he got the opportunity to jam alongside The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen on Thursday night. The legendary rocker spotted the 14-year-old in the crowd when he held up a sign which read, "Missed school, in the s--- now, can I play Growin' Up with you?"

"Do you know the song? You know it on guitar?...Well come on up!" shouted Springsteen to the young musician who raced to the stage and was handed a guitar. Before long, he was sharing the mic with Springsteen while singing out the lyrics to the song from the classic LP "Greetings From Asbury Park."

During the performance, Springsteen explained to the teen that he was about his age when he got his first guitar. "I brought it home and I realized it wasn't about how well you played it, it was about how good you looked doing it," he said. "So I got in front of the mirror and I tried out some poses!"
