Everything Dies, Baby, That’s a Fact (Nebraska Project Baby Photos)

« H E Photostuff :: Nothing Matters but the MUSIC :: email
posted 01/15/2006


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.

And I'd like to think that Harry's out there, somewhere, thinking of another five or six ways to end "30,000 Pounds of Bananas."

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.

You could just see every performer he spoke to being revolted by him, trying to mock his supercilious and pointless questions, or answer them quickly and get off the stage. Even Bruce, whom he grabbed at the end, I now see, mocked his questions, and he had THE GALL TO ASK HIM MORE!! The biggest tin ear I've ever seen. How does this man have a radio show?

Please, never let him near a mike again.
