This is Rocky Horror Picture Show. To me.

Taking a break
nothing is worse than the agony of someone getting major details of your special interest WILDLY wrong
iām watching an analog horror video and the guy is like āthe family gave me a disposable camera and iām slowly working on developing the photosā and i was like ??? what do you mean like the whole roll gets developed at once how is this slow? do you mean heās enlarging them and thatās why itās gradual??? then he says āi asked her if the photos within had ever been developed beforeā and i was like ?!?!? like what they developed the roll and put it back in??? and then you??? what? redeveloped it or something??? then the family replies āyeah this camera frequently had its photos developedā like HUH?!? THE DISPOSABLE CAMERA?!? WHAT LIKE YOU WERE PULLING OUT INDIVIDUAL FRAMES IN A DARK ROOM AND THEN DEVELOPING THEM AND THEN WHAT??? PUTTING THEM BACK?!?!?
i need people too young to know how film photography works to understand that thatās like looking at a bowl of cake batter and asking if that specific batter had ever been baked into a cake before and the person responds YES IT HAS

THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DONāT KNOW WHO THIS āHARRYā PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person iāve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didnāt *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their āMurica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. Heās over here asking when weāre going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who werenāt helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jacksonās record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went āRacist homophobes? Not in our house!ā And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and

It was a story whereā¦ we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldnāt have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasnāt about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that heās been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarenceās life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. āBruce and I looked at each other and didnāt say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each otherās lives. He was what Iād been searching for.ā In another version of the story, Clemons says āHe looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.ā
Iām having some emotions about it!
āHe was elemental in my life,ā Springsteen adds, āand losing him was like losing the rain.ā
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God Iām not okay about it
Now Iām mad that this is not among any of the things I was ever told about this artist.
I knew about this in general (& via all those fabulous photos), but this just adds even more beautiful context <3
Just to add to the pile: this was the cover of Springsteenās break-through album Born to Run, in 1975:
I mean, will you LOOK at this:
This was the pic chosen for the album cover from an extensive photoshoot, too. A few others:
Thereās a lot more online if you search. Theyāre all pretty amazing. But the photographer is right, the one chosen for the album cover just pops.
Four words: donāt go to bed without a big fucking jug of water because what if you wake up thirsty
