And don't listen to your poll. Know that anytime you ask people on the internet if you should do a thing, they will tell you yes.

As a Dad (my 2 kids are now young adults), I'd urge you to go home. From my perspective, time with my kids' growing up were the best. I voted “no”.

I think this is the key line in your post. If one is a wonderful father, then that person should be able to enjoy the occasional act of selfishness without guilt or fear that he is hurting his kids. I like to think you can have a very active role in your child's development and growth while still sometimes putting your own wants first. That's my hope anyway. And since I've fathered nine children by eight different women, I consider myself something of an expert on parenting and relationships. Ok, just kidding on that. The poll question - should I go to Springsteen? - asks you to make a judgement about a situation we are not qualified to judge. If Joe is a wonderful father, then the appropriate answer is: do whatever you want to do. No regrets, guilt, or apologies necessary either way. “Look, I’m not accusing Joe of any of these things – it sounds like he’s a wonderful father.”

That has absolutely nothing to do with anything. “there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanastan and hundreds of places all over the world who would love to have this kind of situation thrust upon them.”

Assuming the plane gets in on time (big if), that might give you time for both kids and Bruce. Even if you miss the first few songs, it'll be worth it.
