That slacker.

I remember her! I heard from her as well, from the work I did on The Impossibles with you. Guilt by association, I reckon. But you’re right— other than that one pet peeve, she was very complimentary.

I expect I will. I figure it'll be somewhat "Hollwood-ized", but might have some good insights into the actual "making of" that I don't know yet. Just hope the filmic extrapolations and polishing won't be too distracting. 🤞

He always saw Springsteen strongest as a solo artist, NEBRASKA says he might have been right all along. 2/2

You may know this already, but when legendary Columbia exec heard Springsteen audition solo in his office, he signed him and declared he was the greatest talent he'd ever seen. Hammond had previously signed Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan. 1/2

Seems like a good time to revisit this one. First principles and all.

Bruce Springsteen's 1982 NEBRASKA album on the turntable.

That one time when classical, silver-age artist Murphy Anderson inked my pencils on my first JLE cover, a goof take on an early JLA cover that he had also inked. A magic moment for me. Happy Birthday, Mr. Anderson.

Thanks, Shane,

You asked some great questions-- most of them ones I haven't had before, and the discussion that sparked was really interesting. Great job!

How about some more music of Resistance?

ARCHANDROID from Janelle Monae. Its calls for acceptance, tolerance, and equality and resistance to oppression and exclusion are no less urgent and timely for all the fanciful (and delightful) trappings.

Dance to the beat and join the revolution.

Back from my Rousing and Inspirational #NoKings rally & march (consisting of me and my dog) and was met with the traditional hero's reward of fresh-baked blueberry cobbler ala mode.

Which is inspirational in its own way, of course.

No rallies or marches in my immediate neighborhood, so Buddy and I organized one of our own, where I'm sporting my special #NoKings #Hamilton hat.
