SVZ has uh, a look now.
Very cool, Bruce posing with Jamie Farr (Klinger) from MASH. :mrgreen:
Ha! Sorry, Klinger, no Section 8 for you. You're going on tour.

Man's at an age and wealth level where he can dress however the fuck he pleases. It's inspiring to see someone enjoy that part of the human experience. A rare trifecta when those who are old and rich are not just also not a corporate drone.
Well put. He has had his looks through the years:

I’m hoping SVZ periodically speaks in bad Jamaican patois.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I’m most of the way through the book. I know the story well so there’s nothing too revelatory, but it’s well done.

I'm annoyed that he refers to him as "Mr. Springsteen." It's a dumb signal of reverence that that this won't be critical in any way.

edit: Maybe I don't need signal twice in that sentence? :rolleyes:

Oh for fuck's sake, he's not amazing; he stumbled going up on the final step. One step, going forward. It's not like fell right off the stage, landed on his back, and then bounced back up.
