Ellis' Bad Signal mailing, which he's notoriously finicky about being quoted in total, had this (in part) to say about Bruce Springsteen's performance at the Glastonbury Festival yesterday: "It's just him, right now, the stage is blacked out, and there's one spot behind him. And he's hot, and it's cold night out there, and he's steaming. And he's just blown the authenticity thing and gone into supermystification, because it looks like he's got an electromagnetic halo, curls of glowing, pearly white light rising up from and playing around his head and shoulders while he stands there in near-silhouette.... "He looks like he's The Last Rock Star, the Ascended Master who glows in the dark."
The attached photo comes from Springsteen's performance of "The River," live at Glastonbury. It certainly doesn't do the "steam" justice to see it in a still photo, so feel free to check out the YouTube clip here.
