When Montclair singer-songwriter Jason Didner saw Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, he was fascinated enough by Bruce’s composite love interest in the film Faye Romano to write “Dear Faye,” a song about “love and regret,” according to Didner, who goes on to say, “Bruce is known for songs written to imaginary women who represent periods in his life.”

He’s usually so humorous. His “People Against The Abuse Of Acronyms” graced our “Visual Sound” section last April, followed by “Underwater Basket Weaving” in October. But his latest work takes a deeper turn: a new song called “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” inspired by Springsteen’s 1982 depression and the friendship with Jon Landau that helped him through. (Scott Cooper’s film of the same name comes out this month.)

On January 20, Internet radio station blowupradio.com, which started in Old Bridge in Middlesex County, will broadcast a “Rock Against Hate” webathon all day where Jersey bands—and a few outside the state—will perform live online while raising funds and awareness for Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) and Planned Parenthood. Two digital compilations—30 songs each—will be offered to those who donate.
