Rock Picks

In terms of raw sales, 1984's bombastic "Born in the U.S.A." is Bruce Springsteen's signpost album. In some ways, however, 1982's quieter, more modest "Nebraska" has lingered far longer. You don't hear anybody covering "Born in the U.S.A." in its entirety, but "Nebraska" was the subject of a very fine tribute-album remake, 2000's "Badlands." A similar live tribute happens tonight: "Deliver Me From Nowhere," with members of Red Collar, Rosewood Bluff, Midtown Dickens and Mt. Moriah covering "Nebraska" songs. It's at the N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham, and the program includes a screening of Terrence Malick's 1973 film "Badlands." Proceeds benefit the Coalition to Unchain Dogs and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
