This movie is very special to me and so are the songs on the soundtrack. I hope you like this episode, much of it recorded months ago. There will be at least one or two more coming soon.  It's funny, because my original intent was to publish a multi-hour episode on "Eddie &amp;..." with a brief mention of "Streets of Fire" at the end, since Michael Pare stars in both films. But S.o.F. ended up being a whole big thing of its own on the last 2 episodes and now I'm finally releasing the "Eddie" stuff in small bits to make it feel like less of a heavy lift, due to so many moving parts in my approach to this film and the source material. I really appreciate you listening, especially if you're new to the series! Next episode will delve deeper into the experience of filming and the reception of the music and rock journo douche-chill-invoking comparisons to "The Boss". I'm gonna get a lot more cranky on that one ;) Buy the original novel because it is good, if you're bad. Choose your way of supporting the show for no money or for maybe some money: https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-4673 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255

"Eddie and the Cruisers" (1983) #1 | Bruce Springsteen | Arthur Rimbaud | P.F. Kluge

P.F. Kluge- "Anyone who knows me, or my work, is well aware that what I write is based on my experience of a place, its history, character, and story-telling possibilities. My first novel, The Day That I Die, and my most recent novel, The Master Blaster, are set on my frequently-revisited Peace Corps island of Saipan. The Philippines and my home state of New Jersey have engendered books. So have Gambier and Kenyon College. I'm utterly familiar with the place I call home and sometimes wonder if — congenial as it usually is — it has lost its ability to surprise me. That, it turns out, is a mistake. July 4, 2015 startled me. Fresh from yard work, unshaven and unkempt, I made my way into the village, looking forward to chatting with friends and neighbors, listening to speeches, watching a notoriously quaint Independence Day parade. The usual stuff. But I was ambushed — pole-axed — when I saw my Kenyon classmate (1964) and lifelong friend, Perry Lentz at the podium, announcing the 2015 Gambier Citizen of the Year. Me. The applause, the plaque, the bouquet of roses — which I couldn't quite figure out how to hold with real dignity — were unforgettable." Meet the supremely talented and immensely underrated P.F. Kluge.

(Episode 128) "Dog Day Afternoon" Writer: P.F. Kluge.

Andrew and Craig both come at P.F. Kluge's Eddie and the Cruisers from a unique perspective: Kluge was (and is) writer-in-residence at Kenyon College (their alma mater). They've both had him in class, and Kenyon College looms particularly large in many of Kluge's works.The book itself is part whodunit mystery, part love letter to New Jersey, and part tale of youth gone by. Join us for a discussion of all those things, plus more extensive chatter than usual about the author and his writing style.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
