A post shared by Bruce Springsteen (@springsteen) on May 2, 2019 at 9:22am PDT From writer/director/producer Gurinder Chadha (“Bend It Like Beckham”) comes the inspirational drama “Blinded by the Light,” set to the music and lyrics of Bruce Springsteen’s timeless songs. “Blinded by the Light” tells the story of Javed (Viveik Kalra) a British teen of Pakistani descent, growing up in the town of Luton, England, in 1987.

by Gregg Chadwick Yesterday in Coventry, Bruce Springsteen dedicated a live full-album performance of  Born to Run  to the recently-departed actor James Gandolfini. Born to Run is a cinematic album that conjures up the  noirish romance of New York and New Jersey seen through the eyes of a youthful protagonist.
