Description: This compilation zine explores different queer femmes' experience with and affinity for Bruce Springsteen. Themes such as Springsteen's staunch masculinity and working class messages resonate within the contributors' stories about the Boss. One contributor analyzes Springsteen's lyrics in relation to her own life, and another regards Springsteen's eclecticism as the catalyst for her coming out of the closet. The editor is a librarian, and contributors include a pair of identical twins and the co-founder of the Queer Zine Archive Project.
