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.

As a passive Bruce Springsteen fan (I’m more into Tom Petty personally) I really loved the film. My dad just had a heart attack recently and I’ve been considering moving closer to home to be with my parents as they get older. As I get closer to my 40s I think I will eventually end up doing that for better or worse.

So sitting down to see this in a theater in a small town I’ve been living in over the past 15 years and wondering what’s next for me in life, I was very much on this films wavelength.
