Both of them were iconoclasts tolerated by establishments because of talent and success, so it makes sense they became friends.

Have to ask though: Does bromance mean friendship, except somehow inferior as the result of being tainted by a backhanded implication of homoeroticism, or just viewed through the lens of it? That one seems like a candidate for some unwrapping.

Friendship, yes. Inferior or tainted, no.

Wikipedia has a good definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromance

Thank you for reference. That description seems to be a wiki article that deconstructs friendship and then reconstitutes it with hooks for critical theory elements designed to imply empowerment of the critic over the subject. I'd say that's a load of crap. :)
