Talkin' 'bout the weekend... NEBRASKA '82 box and SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE have arrived

October 24, 2025

Well, they've certainly been a long time comin', but now they're here. Today, of course, marks the official release date for both the Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere film and the Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition box-set. This Nebraska-centered weekend got a bit of a jump-start last night, as well, with many theaters offering fans a chance to catch an early screening of Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, including IMAX screenings in selected locations.

In time, we at Letters To You will be diving more deeply into analyzing and evaluating both of these major releases, but for now all of that can wait a bit longer. After all, we're sure that most - if not all - of our readers already have arranged or will be arranging their own individual musical/multiplex experiences with this abundance of Springsteen-related material, at least over the next few days, anyway.

In the meantime, today we've got another great, perfectly timed, and relevant contribution from Columbia Records promotion vet Paul "Rap" Rappaport, this time on how he went to bat for Nebraska to get its fair shot on 1980s rock-radio. (Incidentally, Paul's fascinating account offers a much more nuanced - and accurate - portrayal of the Springsteen/Landau experience at Columbia Records than the new film does, but again, more on that later...)

So scrub off the dirt, dear readers, and dig into this movie- and music-filled weekend. We'll see you a bit further down the road...
