Police in Bangor, Maine, are making use of a 1970s progressive rock hit by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band to encourage people to clear the snow off their cars before driving.
Sgt. Tim Cotton posted on Facebook on Tuesday that the group’s song “Blinded By The Light” can serve as a reminder of how dangerous it is to drive with vision obscured by snow.

Well It pretty much sounds like douche in Manfred Mann’s cover. Springsteen was way into muscle cars, they are in a bunch of early Springsteen stuff.

Well if there’s anyone who knows about being a douche, it’s Springsteen.
“Revved up like a deuce” right? As in a Chevy II/Nova? That’s what I always thought it was.”
Maybe a deuce coupe? 32 Ford.
For decades, one of my sisters thought “Feelin Groovy” by Paul Simon said;” Slow down, you move too fast,
You’ve got to make the Morning Mass!”
This is back when we thought everybody was Catholic, even Simon and Garfunkle.
It could be, but I guess I have heard a deuce being a Chevy II more. He loved the muscle cars of the era, wrote about them a lot.
I wonder if ‘Hemi Powered drones’ in Born to Run were dodge Super Bees?

My brother sang Bringing in the Cheese instead of the Sheaves. Funny what little ears think they hear.
Lol! Homage du Fromage.
“Blinded By The Light” (the Manfred Mann version) has always reminded me of driving in the snow, because that’s what I was doing the first time I heard it back in the winter of 1977 while on a ski trip with friends.
It always brought back pleasant memories of that time.
That would have improved the song. Definitely Simon’s worst song. I’m not aware of too many things. I know what I know, if you know what I mean.
And little hurley girlie
turned his anus curly whirley
I’ve never been comfortable listening to that song.
Dressed up like a douche ?
