The Toronto International Film Festival world premiere of The Promise: the Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town combined a visit to one of my favorite cities with the chance to do the red carpet ‘thang’ with two of my favorite people, brilliant manager Jon Landau and award-winning director Thom Zimny. The film is remarkable, btw, a rock’n'roll Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It showed me I could take some lessons on being a ‘boss’ from the film’s hero. Bruce’s interaction with the band during challenging recording sessions is a model of patience and restraint. I could use a little more of that and will try harder, fellow ShoreFireians.
