Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Bruce Springsteen
Song For The Moment
“Darkness on the Edge of Town” by Bruce Springsteen
When I was up the other night at 3-ish AM, feeding the babe, I turned on the telly and had the good fortune of discovering a new documentary airing on HBO about the making of Bruce’s big follow-up album after the success of “Born To Run”. It’s interesting for a lot of reasons — seeing the footage of him and the band in the studio, some 30-odd years ago, and knowing what lies ahead for them; being inside the creative process, from start to finish; and just being able to spend ninety minutes basking in the glow of some fantastic music. ”Darkness” has always been one of my favorite albums of his — this only added more weight to that fact.
Do yourself a favor and set your DVR. It’s well worth checking out.
