7. When Bruce Springsteen gave a 5-year-old the private concert of a lifetime.

Carter Bernhard suffers from spina bifida. Every morning in the hospital, he had this exchange with this dad:

“He wakes up every day and says, ‘Dad, when I leave the hospital, there’s something I want to do.’ I always think he’s going to say ‘go for ice cream,’ but he says ‘I want to meet The Boss.’”

When Bruce got wind of this, Carter was given the opportunity to meet his all-time favorite singer, who gave him a private concert and signed a special guitar for him. YES.

10. Every time Elton remembers Ryan White.

In 1984, Elton John befriended teenager Ryan White, who suffered from AIDS after a botched blood transfusion. He inspired Sir Elton to start the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over $200 million for AIDS research and outreach to date. And although Ryan White died a month before his high school graduation, Elton still regularly remembers him during speaking engagements.

During a Q&A at Vanderbilt University, a kid asked Billy Joel if he could accompany him by playing along as BJ sang “New York State of Mind,” and you’ll be really glad that he did after watching them perform together.

12. And basically anything that ever happened on the short-lived MTV show “FANatic.”

BUT ESPECIALLY THIS GIRL AND WHITNEY HOUSTON SCREAMING “VERKLEMPT” AT EACH OTHER. Then singing and dancing with each other. Then proceeding to basically melt hearts with abandon. Mind-blowing and beyond perfect.
