BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

Not literally. Not the song but the movie inspired by the life of journalist Sarfraz Manzoor focusing on his love and devotion for the music of Bruce Springsteen. It takes place during the late 80s  in Newton, England. I gravitated to this film for several reasons. For starters, my love of Bruce Springsteen. When I discovered his music, like the main character, I was transported and equally as effected. In addition, during that time period, I would do a 4 month stint in England as an exchange student. The experience was quite amazing. The film captured that time period both in tone and style. I felt like I was revisiting old friends.

I talk about this because I just re-watched the movie and was transported to that part of my life again. It felt good. It still feels good. It feels good to share this with you.
