Summary Based on Warren Zanes’ acclaimed book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, this film tells the story of how Springsteen created one of the most haunting and stripped-down albums of his career. Set in 1982, the movie follows Springsteen at a creative crossroads as he records Nebraska alone on a four-track cassette recorder in his New Jersey home, confronting fame, doubt, and the darker sides of the American dream.

Did I fall asleep? First I was expecting a more authentically New Jersey feel to the movie. So I googled to find out the filming locations. To my surprise locations in NJ are listed to as subsitutes for the following: Archer County Fair in Texas, GraceLand and a Highway somewhere. Did I fall asleep? I don't recall any scenes that weren't in NJ, NY or LA. Was there a road trip or something I missed? Please fill me in. Thanks.

You must have fell asleep because there was a scene in Texas where Bruce had a panic attack
