When a drunken Sean Penn told Bruce Springsteen he’d turn one of his songs into a movie: “OK, Sean, sure”

When I started to read this I was thinking more of his song Badlands and the Martin Sheen movie Badlands loosely based on Charles Starkweather.

Nebraska was the last Springsteen album I ever bought.

Conclusions could be drawn, here.

Taps was a good movie and showed immediately just how 🦇💩 crazy Tom Cruise is and would ever be.

I was at a military college when Taps came out.

We all had a good chuckle at that story.

Deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something.

Oh wait, wrong Tom Cruise movie. Anyway, that was before he was a Scientographer.

“... a drunken Sean Pean”

A “dog bites man” description if there ever were one.

Thes two deserve each other. Penn peaked with Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Springsteen with Born in the USA.
