Everything Dies, Baby, That’s a Fact (Nebraska Project Baby Photos)
Here’s what the AllMusic Guide says about Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska:
“...His songs had become darker and more pessimistic, and those on Nebraska marked a new low... The title track was a first-person account of the killing spree of mass murderer Charlie Starkweather... That song set the tone for a series of portraits of small-time criminals, desperate people, and those who loved them.”
Cool! Bring the kids!
That’s Harry Chapin’s grandkid, Maceo(!), held by his mother Jen as she and other folk join special guest Bruce Springsteen in a performance of Woodie Guthrie’s “Oklahoma Hills.” Pics from the Nebraska Project at the World Financial Center Winter Garden; more at my Flickr account.
My God! Are these Your photos? You were there? What could be better than
the boss singing Guthrie songs? Except maybe if harry chapin had been there
singing along? Maybe everything that dies someday comes back?
I really didn't think I had to clarify, but since these pics seem to be in
many places without any kind of credit being given: Yes, I took these
pictures, Cohen.
I'll tell you what would have been better. If Bruce had picked up that
moron John Platt and thrown him into the Hudson. That man was the most
atrocious host I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of bad ones. He was
alternately and simultaneously glib, insulting, irrelevant, irritating,
off-the-mark, and just plain stupid. And worst of all? I LEFT BEFORE BRUCE
SHOWED UP, simply because I and my friends couldn't tolerate another minute
of Platt.
