Bandstand would still be on broadway if they hadn’t cut Jimmy’s coming out scene

[miasmultifandomdump]

Just Like It Was Before from Bandstand is SO GOOD because so much art from that era romanticized the idea of a post war-life and Bandstand takes that and then contrasts it with the gut-wrenching reality that soldiers were coming home from a harrowing and traumatic experience with scars both visible and invisible and with the loss of so many others in the war. It shows how hard everyone's trying but they're just failing because the goal isn't attainable. You can't send boys to battle and expect them to come back the same. It's fair that people just wanted things to go back to normal, but that was never going to happen.

The Bandstand fandom may be deader than Michael but that will not stop me from writing Jimmy Cambell fanfic

Bandstand Headcanon

Johnny loves the movies. It’s one of the few things he can remember stuff about besides music. He knows the names of a bunch of stars and remembers movie quotes. He annoys the band by constantly quoting movies. He also has the biggest crush on Gene Kelly which him and Julia both gush about and see every new movie with him in it together (also Judy Garland because Johnny is an OG friend of Dorothy).

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1338

first posted in facebook august 21, 2024

adrienne elise tarver -- "weary as i can be" (2021)

"i'm weary of the ways of the world be weary of the ways of the world i'm weary of the ways of the world" … solange

"oh, she may be weary and young girls, they do get wearied wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah but when she gets weary try a little tenderness, yeah yeah" … jimmy campbell, reg connelly, and harry m. woods

"images of tarver’s paintings of seated black matriarchal figures are gracing bus shelters throughout boston … focuses on the power and restoration found in the mundane act of sitting. the paintings, which mirror the posture of many commuters, spring from tarver’s deep research into media archives, family photos, and found imagery and explore notions of rest and personal sovereignty through time, especially as they pertain to black women" … cate mcquaid

"jazz, to me, is one of the inherent expressions of negro life in america: the eternal tom-tom beating in the negro soul - the tom-tom of revolt against weariness in a white world, a world of subway trains, and work, work, work; the tom-tom of joy and laughter, and pain swallowed in a smile" … langston hughes

"so try a little tenderness whenever you can … swallow some pain with just a smile" … al janik

okay I don't really know how to frame this. but like. funniest way to confirm Dean is Ben's dad is

20 year-old Ben takes a genetics test for fun or whatever, and the results he gets back are just batshit insane. it's like. oh hey. my biological father is a known serial killer who's still on the FBI's most wanted list and has been found or thought dead multiple times. and my uncle. and my grandfather. and my grandmother. and my--

Donny’s greeting being “hiya!”

Beth Leavel

Nick joining the line of the rest of the band in right this way late (showing his emotional walls)

The choreography motif of Michael’s last moments

The use of blue light in dream/fantasy/flashback sequences

The lighting in general

“If it ain’t on the page it ain’t on the stage”

Wayne showing discomfort when he’s touched by anyone except Nick

“I survived mustard gas AND pepper spray I guess that makes me a seasoned veteran “

Davy being a Shakespeare buff

Julia supporting and knowing Jimmy is gay (welcome home finale, letting him in her hotel room but not the other guys)

Jean Ann Ryan trying to steal the spotlight every chance she gets

June Adams x Oliver

“I’m so embarrassed your mom is probably a gourmet cook.” “My mom passed when I was 14.”

Donny’s autistic coding

Adding on to his autistic coding “if you want to be band leader you need to learn how to talk to people “

All of Donny novitski (the song) but especially all of the “cream rises”

great things about Bandstand (feel free to add your own)

"it's radio, what does it matter?

Laura's high notes

"consider that an order, you screwy nutcase"

Davy's jokes

"sing because you just need to sing"

literally every second Beth Leavel is on stage

"don't. teach."

Jimmy's little glasses

"No, that’s shitty. Irksome is your use of the word irksome"

Corey's awkward little laugh

"wait... I gotta transpose"

Julia clutching Donny's jacket in This Is Life

"...what day of the week is Sunday?"

Donny's continuous disdain for Frank Sinatra

"it's a good thing you're one of the best, because putting up with you is an endurance test"

Johnny dancing with Julia

"and I'm never allowed to admit there is nothing remotely heroic about it"

all of Julia's waredrobe

"And stop picking up my clothes! If I wanted them in the drawer, I'd put them in the drawer!" (bonus: Wayne trying to hide his smile)

"dO i NoT kNoW TeLL mE tHE niGhT"

Wayne being a Donny x Julia shipper

"it's a solo, it's selfish by definiton!"

"you know, there’s a fine line between jazz and bad"

"this is life with the craziness of, the reality of, the necessity of being madly in love with you"

me: aaron is a great name for jimmy's significant other i'm glad someone came up with a fitting name!

also me: there was no one on board the USS Reid (DD-369) on the day that it sunk so unless one of the mens' middle names was aaron this is an unrealistic name to give him
