All special collections are awesome.

Sorry, I’m a library school student. :-P

In all honesty, the U of Delaware has an awesome collection on art forgeries.

I want to make a sitcom starring Bruce Springsteen. It’ll be called “You’re The Boss,” and it’ll take place in an office building. It pretty much writes itself.

Penn State’s library has Ernest Hemingway’s letters to his relatives… The library also is home to the archive of Fred Waring, the boozin,’ adulterous bandleader and chorister “Who Taught America How to Sing.” The archive is actually surprisingly cool.

As of the past year or so, Texas State University at San Marcos houses the Cormac McCarthy Collection. Correspondences, drafts, and the like are available from the once-extremely-now-not-so-much reclusive author.

@Steven, I’m sure it’s just that particular shot. And bearing in mind that is a very much younger Boss than we know now. But, hey, we all get old. Hopefully.

I dont know if it counts. After taking one of his classes, I found out that a crazy old math professor at my College has the largest collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs material in the world. Its the guy that made Tarzan but apparently wrote a lot of other sci fi material. Libraries and some universities contact him all the time asking his to donate it after his death. : /

This is completely unnecessary, but I’m going to say it anyway…

The Rolling Stones cover posted above, is it just me or does Hugh Jackman bear a resemblance to Bruce?

It’s like Wolverine on ice!
