Notes

1 See Martha Nell Smith, “Sexual Mobilities in Bruce Springsteen: Performance as Commentary,” South Atlantic Quarterly 90, no. 4 (Fall 1991): 833-54, for her interpretation of Springsteen and Clarence Clemons’s “soul kiss” and the homoerotic undercurrent of Springsteen’s recorded and live performances. “On the surface of things,” she writes, “Bruce Springsteen seems so male, so heterosexual, so frank, so knowable. But close attention to his artistic production reveals not only how inscrutable he may be, but also how tenuous knowledge is of that most basic element of human nature—sexuality. Homoeroticism permeates his performances, assumption of the feminine is one of his repeated artistic maneuvers, and, though he writes and sings about Adam, he finally seems much more like Eve in his approach to knowledge.” (See p. 849.) Springsteen, the most inclusive of rock singers, has also written from a female perspective. See “Car Wash” on Tracks (Columbia, 1998).

2 As it turns out, he did not win the Oscar for “Dead Man Walking.”
