This will be the only time I mention September 11 but I was listening to some music and Thunder Road from Bruce Springsteen came on. While it’s always been a favorite song of mine, whenever I hear it now I flash back to the weeks and months after 9/11, to a news report covering the life and funeral of one of the victims. At this particular one they played Thunder Road, the victim’s favorite song. Since then whenever I hear it, I can’t help but think of that person and his funeral.
While it is basically as anthem of liberation, this acoustic version takes on an elegiac feel. Just a different sort of liberation…
Thank you. I’m a fan of Thunder Road and made a blog of this movie here : http://thunderroadmovie.blogspot.com/
