In this case it's 1981 and Springsteen's writing and recording of 'Nebraska', considered by many as The Boss's greatest work.

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling.
