Special guest host Dan, a serious Bruce Springsteen fan, joins us to discuss the well-reviewed but little-seen film Blinded by the Light. Directed by Gurinder Chadha (Bend it Like Beckham), this film is a love letter to Springsteen and the power of his prose to cross cultural divides and shine a light on the common human experience. Or something. Also, it may or may not be a musical. But it\\u2019s a period piece which also examines the economic woes of Thatcher-era Britain and features a violent race riot. But it\\u2019s also about finding young love, or following your dreams, or fighting with your dad? I don\\u2019t know anymore. There\\u2019s a lot going on here\\u2026
