#and leave us real fans to show the guy the appropriate amount of respectful appreciation for him as an actor
The anti reactions from yesterday have me just shaking my head. I am by no means a professed stan of Jensen. I'm a fan of his works and I've followed his career, I appreciate his interactions with the public (like cons) as well as his public persona, but I don't worship the ground the guy walks on. He's a human being who I enjoy watching on my screen from time to time in different roles or displaying said public persona. That's it. I support him, but I don't stan him blindly, if that makes sense. Not him or any other celebrity.
That being said, I found the anti/critical reactions to something Jensen allegedly said that had been tweeted out from the Dallas Con to be very interesting and highly entertaining in some cases, especially with one particular anti blog that consistently claims to love this man and want the best for him while psychoanalyzing him and hating (and blaming everything that Jensen does/says that disappoints them) on his wife with the maturity level of a fourth grader. To put it bluntly, antis showed their asses yesterday and it is pure confirmation of what I and so many on here have been saying for quite some time now in regards to these posts/blogs.
Yesterday:
Tweet from the Gold Panel: "Jensen: 'he and I don't take on projects for the impact, we're serious about what we do.'"
Me: 'huh, you know, that wording seems a bit... Eh, you know what, knowing Jensen and how this fandom works anytime he dares to breathe, I'm going to wait to see the panel myself tomorrow and get the context of the question and his answer. If anything, he just misspoke, but I highly doubt he meant it in a bad way. Knowing him, he absolutely cares about the impact it has had on so many people and he might have thought the asker meant something else. Still, I'mma wait and see for myself.'
Antis:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and one particular blog (the one that claims to love him be in love with him):
Tumblr media
'Jensen, you're no true actor and I would know since I'm an expert on acting! How dare you! You've hurt me so deeply!'
Today:
I watched the Gold Panel. Question was did the guys think about how massive the impact SPN would be in reference to their careers aka people knowing who they are, people following them, etc. Basically, did they know what it would become, something Jensen clarifies with the fan before answering. Jensen's actual response:
"Yeah, I don't, I mean, I guess to kind of quickly break it down, I don't think he and I go into any of these, uh, jobs or roles or stories thinking about the impact it's going to have externally. I think we go into it as...you know, they hire us to come in and do a job and...and he and I both, uh, we both take that job seriously even though it may not look like it all the time. But we also have a lot of fun doing the job because we truly enjoy doing what we do. That being said, we're not thinking 'oh let's do this because I want the effect that's going to have on a greater scale'. We're just doing our job. And hopefully, it resonates to people. Hopefully, somebody out there is entertained. And if that's the case, then we've done our job."
Me trying to see what had the antis losing their minds, especially that one blog and NOT finding it anywhere:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is why you always watch the panels for yourself and avoid anti posts/blogs at all costs. They always claim they are there to be the opposite to AA's, to apply critical thinking, to view Jensen as human instead of a god, to be the ones with "a reality check", but they jump just as quickly as that group and crucify the guy before doing due diligence. Critical thinking should also include getting your facts straight before spreading misinformation (and in this case, more hatred). This is literally the same tool kit lawyers, law enforcement, and investigative journalists use all the time. It's good old common sense.
So block, mute, filter these people. Do whatever you gotta do, but this proves once and for all what we've all been saying. These anti/critical blogs that claim to "apply critical thinking" are full of shit.
Critical thinking is defined as "the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment." The reactions were not objective, especially the one blog that had an emotional heartbroken reaction. They were subjective, colored by their own biases. They did not analyze and evaluate the situation fully before issuing a judgement; they were missing a very crucial piece of the puzzle before they started sounding off and they knew it but they didn't care.
So the next time an anti/critical blog says in defense of their hating on/criticizing of Jensen (or anyone really) that they're applying critical thinking and you should try the same when you propose an alternative point of view (about Jensen or not), just remember it's all a smoke screen of bullshit. So again, block, mute, filter, whatever you gotta do. Personally, I think this shit's hilarious and entertaining on a Real-Housewives type level.
And that one blog that had such an emotional reaction to something that Jensen didn't even say in the way they thought he did, it's one thing for you to feel the way that you do, but spreading misinformation as you did, saying Jensen is no true performer, I don't know, maybe it's time to let go of your obsession with loving (aka being in love with) and hating this guy and move on?

Top 30 Underrated Springsteen Songs: #28. Meeting Across The River
Born to Run (1975)
youtube
“Tonight’s gonna be everything that I said! She’ll see this time I wasn’t just talking...”
Nestled in between Born to Run’s grander and more famous epics hides the beautiful, cinematic “Meeting Across the River”, one of Springsteen’s most tragic songs and finest sketches. More thoughts below the cut.
As I say up above, if there’s one Bruce song that can most be described as cinematic (maybe alongside Jungleland), it’s this somber, noir-esque portrayal of a man as overconfident as he is desperate, his buddy Eddie, and his massive gamble to try and make enough money to win back his girlfriend Cherry. (Is there any more perfect name to put in a song like this than “Cherry”?) From the very first seconds of the song, the absolutely beautiful piano and trumpet set the perfect atmosphere for this tale. The music of this song creates a world of its own, a movie begins to play out every time I hear it - I wish I knew how to do it justice. It truly feels like watching a movie: part of me wishes someone would make a film based on this song... but part of me knows that it’s unnecessary, because the lyrics tell a complete story on their own; I get as much out of this song in three minutes as I could get out of nearly any movie in an hour and a half.
I really struggled with what line to put at the top, because nearly every single one feels essential to the song being what it is, to giving a perfect depiction of what’s going on in these lives in just a couple of minutes. “Meeting” finds an unnamed narrator talking to his friend Eddie, preparing for some kind of deal with a criminal on the other side of town... but as the song goes on, it becomes increasingly painfully clear that these guys are way, way out of their league. We’re shown pretty quickly that they haven’t dealt with criminals like this before (”Hey Eddie, this guy, he’s the real thing...”) - and we’re then shown that they’re incredibly poorly-equipped to: Eddie needs to be reminded what a dangerous situation they’re going into, with the narrator reminding him to “stay cool” and above all else not smile; they’re not even dressed right for the deal; the narrator tells Eddie to stuff something in his pocket so it looks like he’s carrying a gun. These guys are dealing with a dangerous criminal on the other side of town and don’t even have guns. With all of these details, the somber music, and the fact that this is a Bruce Springsteen song, there’s... really not much question about these two inexperienced would-be criminals’ fates. And the narrator’s motivation is nothing more than trying to scrape together a couple thousand bucks for his girlfriend.
What makes the song truly tragic, though, is that they don’t even realize what mortal danger they’re putting themselves into. The narrator is walking straight into his own death with nothing but confidence. In the closing lines of the song, we hear him tell this time, he’s not just talking - and it’s that “this time, I wasn’t just talking” that adds the most depth: if there have been other times where he promised Cherry a bunch of cash - and he recognizes it - that paints him as an excitable, maybe impulsive, but fundamentally harmless and ultimately self-aware guy who’s prone to talking a big game and not delivering, who attaches to whatever big ideas he can, but who realizes he does so and does it with good intentions. His flaws of getting a little too cocky or promising more than he can follow up on seem almost charming (especially in conjunction with the rest of what we can glean about his personality - but more on that in a sec), and his awareness of those flaws show us that he really is a good guy. And he plans on the titular meeting being his big break, being the one hare-brained scheme that’s going to finally redeem him for all the others and win over Cherry... when we know that it’s absolutely, absolutely not, that he has no idea how serious his situation is.
He believes he’s taking proper precautions, he’s aware of some level of danger - but he doesn’t fully appreciate the extent of it. He may recognize that Eddie needs to change his shirt... but he thinks that a simple change in outfit will be enough to effectively make him and his buddy hardened criminals, and that they’re just one appropriate shirt away from “style.” And even the way he describes the danger still has the same overconfidence - there’s an awe to all of this, from the beauty of the guy’s opening “Got a meeting with a man on the other side...”. When he says “This guy don’t dance...”, I see it being delivered almost with a smile, or holding one back - I feel like it shows that, as aware of the danger as he may be, he’s still naive enough to find something romantic and appealing about it.
At times the way he talks dips almost into cliches - but I think that’s because he’s so inexperienced (again, no guns) that he doesn’t even know the difference between those and reality. Hearing him say “This guy don’t dance... Here, stuff this in your pocket: It’ll look like you’re carrying a friend...” - the delivery of those lines just makes me highly doubt that this guy has ever spent much time around people who were actually carrying guns. So ultimately, the image I have is of a guy who thinks he’s properly accounting for the danger, but who at the end of the day is still cocky and/or naive enough to think the whole thing is like some cool action movie, a movie where he’ll escape without a hitch and toss the money onto the bed without a word, cool as any star from the silver screen. The cinematic sound of the song fits perfectly with the ~slick~ nature of the lyrics - which in turn fits perfectly with the guy’s delusions, with the idea of him as a man who basically sees this actual criminal act as equivalent to a movie in which he’s the perpetually unharmed protagonist and who’s just emulating how he thinks things like this work.
Another sad layer is the way this guy, who’s clearly kind of awestruck by the ~romantic danger~ of the whole thing, sees himself as the cool, composed one. He’s the one telling Eddie “stay cool”, “don’t smile”, “change your shirt” - giving all this info as if he’s been around this block countless times before... when we can tell perfectly well that he can’t and that in terms of actual experience, there’s absolutely no disparity between him and Eddie. Neither one of them are prepared for what’s going to happen.
There’s so many little ways in which this guy is set up as overconfident, as oblivious about the danger he’s getting himself and his friend into. The clearest and biggest display of overconfidence, though, is the direct “Tonight’s gonna be everything that I said!”, immediately preceding his image of the night ending like the final scene in a movie.
So overall, Meeting is a really interesting song that sets the stage for a tragic, explosive conclusion - but doesn’t actually provide it. It’s a song that simply portrays a man’s romantic delusions about the nature of the criminal world he’s jumping way over his head into - cutting off before those delusions are shattered and he’s brought down to Earth in the most crushing fashion imaginable with no opportunity to learn from his fatal mistake, leaving us to fill in those gaps and picture the story’s obvious ending ourselves. If you just listen to what the guy’s telling you, you’d have no reason to think he’s out of his element - but if you pay attention to what he’s showing you, you know exactly where this is headed.
This is one of my favorite songs on the list, easily. The reason it does rank higher is because I know some diehard fans do love this song and many get excited when it’s played live, there’s definitely a decent amount of respect for this song among people who know it well... but basically, I think there should be even more - and I think it should be less of a deep cut to begin with. For a song on Born to Run, this should be way better-known than it is! And it doesn’t get enough credit for its incredibly powerful contribution to that album. When people do talk about this song, they often (not always, but often) talk about it in conjunction with Jungleland - but it’s more than just “a precursor to Jungleland”. Even if Jungleland had never been written, Meeting would stand as some of Bruce’s most convincing songwriting with some beautiful instrumentation that makes it feel truly unlike just about any other Springsteen song you could find. I think this song, in itself, belongs right up there with The River and nearly on the level of Racing in the Street as one of Bruce’s most respected character songs. I mean just listen to the intro, to how the trumpet and piano play together, to the power in Bruce’s voice on “Got a meeting with a man on the other side...” But in spite of being a beautiful and well-told song - on the album typically hailed as his magnum opus, no less - it’s not nearly as well-known as those two and, while respected, doesn’t get as much respect as it could or should. So while it’s too popular a cult favorite to rank any higher, it’s still obscure enough and focused on little enough by fans that I think it definitely belongs on this list.
