his headphones to shut out the
Banghra-infused pop music, Javed
looks around and sees hundreds
of kids dancing in unfettered exu-
berance. The headphones come
off and he lets himself enjoy the
simple pleasure of dance (some-
thing few of Springsteen’s songs
allow for). Ultimately, the lesson
of Blinded by the Light is that cul-
ture is a conversation, not a mono-
logue. If that isn’t a message for
2019, I don’t know what is.
