I'm really disappointed in you.
520
00:31:18,375 --> 00:31:19,583
You hated my poems...
521
00:31:19,666 --> 00:31:22,458
I hated that you threw them away
before anyone ever read them.
522
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,291
-You read them?
-Every one of them.

524

Yeah.
525
00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:31,541
And I can think of several more
four-letter words for Luton too.
526
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:35,083
But the point is they're raw,
they're distinctive.
527
00:31:36,083 --> 00:31:38,250
You have a responsibility
to make this invisible,

in Asbury Park, New Jersey,
1697
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:07,958
but Bury Park, Luton.
1698
01:41:08,291 --> 01:41:10,125
But the reason
I connected with Springsteen
1699
01:41:10,208 --> 01:41:13,041
is because what
he sings about and champions
1700
01:41:13,125 --> 01:41:14,791
are not only American values
1701
01:41:15,083 --> 01:41:16,875
but are the best of human values.
1702
01:41:17,375 --> 01:41:20,541
He talks about working hard
and holding on to your dreams
1703
01:41:20,625 --> 01:41:22,416
and not letting the hardness of the world
1704
01:41:22,500 --> 01:41:25,291
stop you from letting
the best of you slip away.
1705
01:41:26,708 --> 01:41:28,041
In these words,
1706
01:41:28,125 --> 01:41:32,125
I see a bridge between Springsteen
and my own Asian upbringing.
1707
01:41:33,125 --> 01:41:35,083
[woman whispers] Just this way.
1708
01:41:43,500 --> 01:41:48,000
And that is why the music and values
of Springsteen's American dream
1709
01:41:48,083 --> 01:41:50,458
can reach and touch a boy from...
1710
01:41:56,916 --> 01:41:59,000
I'm sorry.
I don't know if I can read this.
1711
01:42:00,125 --> 01:42:01,916
You can. Go on.
1712
01:42:08,958 --> 01:42:12,000
When I wrote it,
I really believed every word, but now...
1713
01:42:16,500 --> 01:42:18,750
A lot has happened
since I wrote those words.
1714
01:42:20,208 --> 01:42:23,291
Then, I thought Bruce Springsteen
was the answer
1715
01:42:23,708 --> 01:42:25,875
and all I had to do was live by his words.
1716
01:42:28,833 --> 01:42:30,208
I don't think that's true anymore.
1717
01:42:33,791 --> 01:42:37,375
Bruce Springsteen got out of New Jersey
by following his dream.
1718
01:42:38,375 --> 01:42:39,333
Bruce sings,
1719
01:42:39,958 --> 01:42:43,416
"If dreams came true, well,
wouldn't that be nice?
1720
01:42:43,666 --> 01:42:46,125
But this ain't no dream
we're living through tonight.
1721
01:42:46,208 --> 01:42:49,125
If you want it,
you take it, and you pay the price."
1722
01:42:51,625 --> 01:42:54,833
So the question I'm asking is:
Can I pay that price?
1723
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:59,875
I know having dreams
doesn't make me a bad son.
1724
01:43:01,791 --> 01:43:03,625
I also know that everything I am
1725
01:43:03,708 --> 01:43:06,250
is because of the sacrifices
my mum and dad made.
1726
01:43:14,458 --> 01:43:16,291
My dad's not a typical dad.
1727
01:43:19,666 --> 01:43:22,833
[sniffling] We don't have jokey chats.
1728
01:43:22,916 --> 01:43:24,291
He's not like the dad you see on telly.
1729
01:43:26,750 --> 01:43:29,500
A lot of the time, he seems
pretty angry at the world.
1730
01:43:32,166 --> 01:43:35,791
I think Bruce Springsteen
would understand my dad,
1731
01:43:36,958 --> 01:43:39,791
cause like his father, they both
came from poor backgrounds,
1732
01:43:40,666 --> 01:43:42,333
both worked hard in factories,
1733
01:43:42,833 --> 01:43:46,375
both had dreams that never came true,
which left them angry.
1734
01:43:49,333 --> 01:43:52,166
And they both had sons who wanted
the chance to make them proud.
1735
01:44:02,583 --> 01:44:06,833
Bruce has a song called
"Blinded by the Light."
1736
01:44:08,750 --> 01:44:12,625
And when I first heard it, I thought...
I thought it was about love
1737
01:44:14,041 --> 01:44:19,166
and being blinded by the love
we might have for a girl or money.
1738
01:44:22,041 --> 01:44:23,916
But last night, I listened to it again.
1739
01:44:26,125 --> 01:44:28,458
And Bruce is saying so much more.
1740
01:44:29,958 --> 01:44:32,500
I was blinded by the light
when I first heard Springsteen
1741
01:44:32,583 --> 01:44:34,833
because I was only thinking,
in that moment,
1742
01:44:35,916 --> 01:44:37,791
about Springsteen and me.
1743
01:44:40,916 --> 01:44:44,333
But we're not all just individuals.
1744
01:44:45,166 --> 01:44:46,375
We have friends...
1745
01:44:48,583 --> 01:44:49,541
and family...
1746
01:44:51,125 --> 01:44:53,333
and what they think does matter.
1747
01:44:54,708 --> 01:44:57,791
Success without them isn't really success.
1748
01:44:59,791 --> 01:45:01,375
Being blinded meant I couldn't see
1749
01:45:01,458 --> 01:45:04,791
how much I am like my dad
and my dad is like me.
1750
01:45:06,583 --> 01:45:08,458
And as much as I wanted to leave Luton,
1751
01:45:09,708 --> 01:45:12,250
I understand that it will never leave me.
1752
01:45:14,541 --> 01:45:18,791
Bruce says no one wins
unless everybody wins.
1753
01:45:20,875 --> 01:45:25,708
My hope is to build a bridge
to my ambitions
1754
01:45:26,250 --> 01:45:28,291
but not a wall between my family and me.
1755
01:45:30,541 --> 01:45:31,666
That's my dream.
1756
01:45:32,958 --> 01:45:34,375
My American dream.
1757
01:45:36,958 --> 01:45:37,916
In Luton.
1758

1761

I'm so sorry.
1762

I've missed you like mad.
1763
01:46:18,291 --> 01:46:20,833
Like a river that don't know
where it's flowing,
1764
01:46:21,708 --> 01:46:24,416
you took a wrong turn
and you just kept going.

are you sure he's American?
1784
01:47:28,500 --> 01:47:30,958
Yes. And not Jewish.
1785
01:47:31,041 --> 01:47:32,041
I read his songs.
1786
01:47:32,125 --> 01:47:35,708
He said work hard,
don't give up, respect your parents.
1787

This man must be Pakistani. [laughter]

I got for my Bruce collection.
