Great piece. This will make me Upgrade-to-Paid ! PEDANTICALLY, I feel the pressing need to point out that you used 'Approbation' when you really meant 'Opprobrium.' I had an insane English teacher in High School who taught me that, along with 'The Subjunctive MOOD' ("If" and "Wish" use "Were," not "Was" . . . ) and many other Grammar Intricacies, which I still Love. Seniors '81 RULE ! Signed, "Friend" (i.e. co-scenester) with Pat Blashell, Austin Punk Scene 1979-1984.
And I've been meaning to look up Pat, tell him to check out this blog. I've been seeing him post on Insta but haven't reached out. In fact, now that you're reminding me, maybe I'll write up the time he and I met up at Johnny Cash's 70th birthday party.
Yeah, Barbra talked for almost three hours. But, as with Bruce (and Dolly) every minute was compelling and fascinating.
Thanks Nathan.
And, fixed!
Springsteen interview was tremendous. So long but still engaging.
