→[More:] about the Bruce Sprinsgsteen song
Backstreets (
audio). I offerred the idea that this is one of the few rock songs that could be a same-sex love song without changing a single lyric. Of course, it could also function as a straight love song, or a homoerotic song about intense friendship. At any rate, I'd love to hear, say, Melissa Etheridge or Rufus Wainright interpret this song. I've got Bruce-On-The-Brain. I admit it.
Your thoughts?
