all those things that seemed so important/mister, they vanished right into the air

Can we talk about how every time I see The River mentioned, I think it's based on the (amazing) Springsteen song/album?

Because that would seriously make a really interesting drama, about the 70s rural US and lost dreams and teen pregnancy and unions and economic issues. TOPICAL. I would watch the fuck out of that show.

It's The Indian Runner, which is based on 'Highway Patrolman'.

It's...okay? Sean Penn made it, but he hadn't really hit much of his stride.

Oh! I already own that movie (see: relevant to my interests) but I have not yet watched it. I didn't know it was based on a song though, that makes it a little more interesting to me. Also pushes it up somewhat on the "to be watched" pile.

Interesting story: the "official video" for that song -- like, the one that's included on the DVD of all his official videos -- is, iirc, actually a fanvid someone made to the song.
