Springsteen’s “Nebraska” Hitting UPH Oct. 5 by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY
SARATOGA SPRINGS — When it came that last Thursday of September in 1982, it was something of a surprise. It came wrapped in a photograph captured out the front passenger window along an otherwise tenant-less road that scrutinized the bleak prairies, foreboding fenceposts and ominous clouds on the horizon. The image itself was bordered by a black frame and red block letters that read simply: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. NEBRASKA.
“It felt like a foreign object in my hand,” recalls writer, educator and musician Warren Zanes. “It affected me at the time - but the first was feeling alienated from it.” On Saturday, Oct. 5, Zanes will celebrate Springsteen’s “Nebraska” with song and stories at Universal Preservation Hall. The event showcases his acclaimed book about the making of the album – as well as the multi-star PBS special and the movie-in-theworks the book has spawned. See Story pg. 25
