Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Out In the Street (The River Tour, Tempe 1980)

[bellenossunfire]

I love my guitarists, even if their fashion senses range from "pirate/babushka/fortune teller" to "the definitive male 80s look" to "went in a thrift store in the dark and put on every single article of clothing at once." (A friend of mine once said that for about 15 years, Nils just looked like that scene from Friends where Joey puts on all of Chandler's clothes at once, and I'll never unsee it.)

Bruce and Nils's outfits are based 1:1 on real outfits from the Born In The USA touring era; Stevie's is an amalgamation of several pieces of clothing he's worn, with edits made to the overcoat to make for better legibility in the simplified-down style of this picture.

The first dream doesn’t work out. Whatever. Hang in there a little bit. If you can avoid being an alcoholic or drug addict and feeling too sorry for yourself and committing suicide — all of which I considered — hang in there and maybe destiny … has something in mind that, you couldn’t have anticipated.”

Analyzing it now…as it turns out, everything I've ever accomplished in my life that has any meaning I did after I thought my life was over. — Stevie Van Zandt
