Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) #2 | Bruce Springsteen

Description
No not the sequel. That film, like "Godfather 3" is just something you heard of and may foolishly think you remember, but never actually happened.  This is just the second part of my series on this wonderful film that is mighty beloved to me. Settle in and prep yourself for more readings from Bruce Springsteen interviews & the P.F. Kluge novel, my analysis of the movie and its origins and execution in my own loving detail, + my very accurate representations of Bruce's non-Jersey-sounding singing voice. Not to mention my cogent explanation of what I've termed "The Mount Rushmore of Jersey rock singers that try to sound like they're from The South". I'm not sorry.  Choose your preferred method of supporting the show for no money or maybe some money: https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-4673 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaXc5xFwFls P.F.
