I mean this character was also a teacher like me, and I couldnt relate to him. What I'm saying is that the reference to faithless and blinded may be using religious terminology in a satirical way when discussing the relationship between a rock band and its fans. See a recent post on Tumblr from worldcircus about blinded by the light.

All the titles are indeed inspired by songs that have had a meaning at some point of my. Moreover, its a sincere autobiographical story about my lifetime passions, from photography to music. Its a once-in-a-lifetime, decade-long travel diary, a scrapbook of memories portraying me in the field across the 5 continents. The songs lyrics might be adopting some religious language to make a satirical point (elsewhere in the song it mentions 'We'll kill the fatted calf tonight,' where fatted calf is an expression from the Bible). Blinded by the Light is more than an intimate collection of photographs. That doesn't necessarily mean I had it completely wrong. According to the Wikipedia article here about the song 'Bennie and the Jets,' 'the song's lyrics are a satire on the music industry of the 1970s,' with Elton John playing the roll of a fan of the eponymous fictional band. Blinding Lights is about how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights,' he explains in the profile.

Well, now that I've been reminded that it's Elton John's song 'Bennie and the Jets' that is the source of the lyrics, that changes things. BLINDED BY THE LIGHT is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and released on his 1973 album Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
