Springsteen dives into his psyche with 'Western Stars' film
NEW YORK — Though Bruce Springsteen's songs are a vibrant part of the contemporary American songbook, he regularly uses his lyrics to express his deep misgivings about the proverbial "American dream."With "Western Stars," a full-length feature film out on Friday that marks the Boss's directorial debut, New Jersey's favorite son is once again looking at a question he's grappled with for decades: the struggle between transient freedom and communal life.The meditative concert film features sweeping pans over California's wide expanses — think wild horses, a muscle car on the open road and cacti bathed in a rose sunrise — interspersed with Springsteen's family home movie footage.It is effectively the 70-year-old icon's replacement for a...
