Father of five found dead, wrapped in plastic and carpet. No foul play suspected.

Read a few weeks back where a guy was shot to death hunting without his gun being found. Also ruled a suicide.

My uncle was a cop in the 60's. He responded to a call of a young woman who had committed suicide by hanging one day. Turned out he knew her from high school,and felt that being found hung with piano wire, with her hands wired tight behind her back and her name carved into her chest with a knife just MIGHT not have been a suicide. He wasn't a cop much longer after that....

Reminds me of the story of a black man found in a ditch in rural Georgia with 47 bulllet holes. Local sheriff declared the worst case of suicide he’d ever seen.

Cannot believe no one has referenced this yet,,, I still have a problem understanding the lyrics for the song, crazy thing is that I have heard the song in 10+ years, but still remember all the words:

Lyrical Meaning
“Blinded by the Light” is a high-energy track that matches the thrill of adolescence. The song is packed with the invincibility of youth, and the hopeful perspective that anything is possible. The lyrics are reminiscent of Springsteen’s early days as a musician with a handful of eccentric characters that he met at venues.

Some silicone sister with a manager mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said “I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong
Play the song with the funky break”

However, on the rollercoaster of being a young musician, the “downs” are just as prevalent as the “ups.” The lyrics also hint at the downsides of always being on the move and struggling to make it to the top.

Actually the lyrics I wrote down are the correct Bruce Springsteen version. Manfred Mann's Earth Band changed them to Revved up like a deuce.

MMEB is a better version of the song and even better because I don't have to listen to Bruce Springsteen. Never like that dude and his style or his politics.
