]]> If you’re going to skip school, you may as well make it worth it. Living out his inner Ferris Bueller, middle school student Nathan Testa played hooky from class on Thursday (February 16) to attend a Bruce Springsteen concert in his hometown of Brisbane, Australia.

Little did the 15-year-old know that he’d end up on stage playing alongside “The Boss.”

When Springsteen spotted the teen’s sign (which read “Missed school… now can I play ‘Growin’ Up’ with you?”), the legendary rocker gave him the go-ahead to join him for a duet.

A tech supplied Testa with an acoustic guitar and the two rocked out with Testa leading the band.

After the song, the 67-year-old musician shared a story about his experience with a guitar when he was 15.

“When I was your age I got my first guitar. I brought it home and I realized it wasn’t about how well you played it, it’s how good you look doing it. So, I got in front of the mirror and I tried some different poses,” he said.

At the conclusion of the performance, Springsteen hailed the lad as the successor to his rock and roll throne.




“I have seen the future of rock and roll and his name is Nathan Testa!” he said.

This isn’t the first time the two have met. In 2014, Springsteen invited then 11-year-old Testa on stage in the same arena to sing ‘Waitin’ on a Sunny Day.’

By skipping class, Testa missed out on English, math, and history but he got a priceless lesson in the school of rock.

]]> Now that you enjoyed your leftovers and scored a few deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s time to settle down and focus on giving back. What better time to help out a great cause than on Giving Tuesday, right?

Giving Tuesday, aka #GivingTuesday, started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a way for people to take a break from the post-Thanksgiving shopping extravaganza and give back to charities and causes that are close to their heart.

It’s also a great way to kick off the holiday season by paying it forward and even finding a new cause to focus on for the upcoming new year.

There are many good celebrities and organizations that are getting involved this year. Whether it’s matching donations or sharing support for an underserved initiative, the celebrity news headlines, and our Twitter feeds, are bursting with #GivingTuesday notifications!

Good Organizations Increase Donations on #GivingTuesday

Many companies and causes are doubling donations, which helps to increase the impact of contributions on this important day.

Radisson

The Radisson hotel brand announced its #ShareYourPlate initiative, which invites social media users to share photos of their plates of food today to raise awareness for the hunger problem worldwide. For every photo shared on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #ShareYourPlate, Radisson will donate $1, up to $500, to benefit Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network.

“This campaign supports the brand’s commitment to help source one Million meals through strategic efforts in our communities,” said Rich Flores, vice president, branding, Radisson. “We have declared through Radisson’s responsible business program, there is No Room For Hunger and are committed to driving awareness on the ground at our hotels and even on social media through initiatives like #ShareYourPlate”.

Humane Society and Halo Pets

The Humane Society teamed up with organic pet food brand Halo Pets to match donations with a bowl of food for a shelter animal.

“So grateful for @halopets support this #GivingTuesday! For every $1 donated, 1 bowl of food will help feed a rescued pet! #GivingFoodsDay,” the Humane Society tweeted.

No Kid Hungry

For Giving Tuesday, the nonprofit No Kid Hungry teamed up with a generous team of donors to match donations for the entire day.

Charity: water

Charity: water has a similar initiative. When donors sign up for the organization’s monthly giving community, a generous donor will match their gift today.

Alzheimer’s Association

Charity Miles, an app that partners with organizations to raise money for nonprofits, shared its support for the Alzheimer’s Association by ensuring its Twitter followers get out and run.

When users track their runs through the Charity Miles app, they automatically raise money for their favorite charities. Donations come from a number of corporate sponsors.

]]> He’s been traveling around the country for his latest tour, and during his stint in Los Angeles, CA, Bruce Springsteen met a very special fan.

Xabi Glovsky attended the rock concert with his dad, and it just happened to be on a school night. The nine-year-old is a die-hard fan of The Boss and wasn’t about to miss his show in LA, even if he had to wake up early for class the next day.

Xabi and his dad, Scott, created a sign that read, “Bruce, I will be late to school tomorrow. Please sign my note :-).”

Lucky for Xabi, Springsteen and his crew saw the handmade sign and invited the pair to come visit him backstage after the three-and-a-half hour show.

“Although there were many musicians and celebrities at the concert, we were the first people to see him after the show,” Scott told the Claremont Courier. “Bruce said ‘There’s the big guy’ when he saw my son.”

Springsteen took care of Xabi’s school note and signed a letter letting his teacher know the reason for his tardiness the next morning. It’s also a pretty great souvenir for Xabi after meeting his hero. The note read: “Dear Ms. Jackson,” the note read. “Xabi has been out very late rocking and rolling. Please excuse him if he is tardy!” “Idols rarely live up to your expectations,” Scott said. ”Bruce lived up to every expectation a nine-year-old boy could have—or a 48-year-old boy could have.”
