Incident on 57th Street by Bruce Springsteen, live at the Main Point '75

It's always hard to gauge, with Bruce (obviously not an unknown but, also, lots of people who've only casually listened to him, if even that), but this one's a live performance for a track that doesn't get a lot of radio play.

Also a great example of his early storytelling work and great use of violins, to boot. The whole original album is a classic but this one's great as a one-shot.

I think the weirdest thing I ever saw him do was discuss meeting with Meta when they were working on Threads, get called out for it so he made a post somehow distancing himself from it and saying something along the lines of, "C'mon, guys; I'd never cozy up to Meta," and then, when Threads started federating, posted a screenshot of being able to see a post from a Threads account from PixelFed and gushing about how incredible this was.

Dude is suspect, for real; glad to see I'm not the only one getting that.

EDIT: just read through what you linked to and wow; that's so much worse than I originally thought. That's an inane degree of unprofessionalism.

Jerry already caught me up.

To those who haven't heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).

Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.

In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn't heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they're wrong.

Ah; I rescind my comments and apologize. I can see the reasoning.

What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don't give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.

Preach.

Now knowing the context, it's so…Musk-like.

Oh, they won't realize what I'm doing if I pretend it's symbolizing my heart going out towards the crowd…

*throws the most awkward and uncoordinated Fascist salute, ever*

In the pre-Trump world, none. In this administration, I think it'll barely even register.
