Clarence Clemons kissing Bruce Springsteen, 1980(?)
I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen's memoir Born to Run. It's surprisingly good; I highly recommend it. Bruce reads the audiobook himself. I went in with a casual appreciation for Bruce and his music, and am coming out as a massive fan.
For context on the pic: Clarence and Bruce were incredibly close friends for decades. They didn't have a romantic or sexual relationship AFAIK, but a "you are my missing half" sort of relationship. The on-stage kisses happened more than once at emotional high points in their shows.

Oh my god they were bandmates
Great memoir. Even greater artist! Clarence is dearly missed. Been a fan since 12 years old.
I second all of this ❤️
Sounds like they rode through that Tunnel of Love...
Everybody loved the Big Man, but not as much as Bruce did.
Glad I got the to see the E Street Band when he was still around.
ah what good friends
Big “Kiss of Life” energy. Maybe Bruce’s Hungry Heart frequently gives him palpitations.
