Bruce Frederick 's Influence On The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

The opinion of the public in the United States’ government was affected from the Vietnam War. In the beginning, most of the Americans supported the war but when more conflicts occurred and more troops were shipped the support started to decrease. What began is that some college student movement against the war then it became as a national protest. By the end of 1965, most of the soldiers who had been fighting in the war were drafted into war. Some Americans opposed the draft and believed it is unfair. The Vietnamese war was the first war to be televised instead of writing down news in newspaper

Secretary of State John Kerry once said “I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service.” The Vietnam War was a conflict that lasted from 1956-1975 which the United States participated in along with the South Vietnamese who fought against the Communist North Vietnamese. Many Americans strongly disapproved of the war which caused many protests and riots. The war lasted 25 years killing many people and eventually the North Vietnamese won. The Vietnam War was important to Americans back home because it tested the citizen’s right to free speech, effected future foreign policy, and created many issues for returning veterans.

Elvis Presley was signed to Sun Records in 1954. This was monumental for Phillips’s stand on racial boundaries in music. Elvis drew national attention to Sun Records which, in part, sparked slight popularity for other Sun artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, and Roscoe Gordon (Sun Records 1). This point in time is known as the origin of Rock and Roll. Contrary to what Rock and Roll is now, it was only popular within a certain demographic of people for a long time

Springsteen’s choice to involve himself in political issues, although not explicitly, was something that was building up throughout his life as he transitioned from a young adult to an adult in his mid-thirties. As explained by New York Times writer Nicholas Dawidoff in an article from 1997 titled “The Pop Populist”, Springsteen’s main concerns were not that of chasing young woman, but that of needing to change the world around him (Dawidoff). By the time Springsteen wrote “Born in the U.S.A.”, he had already built a good reputation for himself in the United States. This makes it possible for Springsteen to influence large crowds of people to take action or, at the very least, listen to what he has to say. Ronald Reagan used this song to praise American values. The irony of this is that the song is doing the exact opposite of praising the United States for their role in the Vietnam War and their treatment of their veterans. In an article titled “Bruce Springsteen, Ronald Reagan and the American Dream”, Susan Mackey-Kallis, an associate professor from Villanova University, with co-author Ian McDermott, explain how Springsteen, himself, spoke out against usage of music in this manner of only paying attention to the surface (Mackey-Kallis 7). This also true for many listeners throughout the country. Listening to this song based on the

     The Vietnam War was one of the most influential wars in American History. The United States did not actually lose, but ending with a cease fire was considered a loss. When all of the troops returned they were looked upon by the American public scornfully. This caused both the troops and the American citizens to dislike the government. Many riots took place and many public displays happened. "...in response to a drive by the North Vietnamese forces into the South, President Richard M.

Throughout America’s history, few things have left the nation in such controversial turmoil as the Vietnam War. With an American death toll of almost 60,000 troops, the Vietnam War has gone down in infamy as one of the most tremendous struggles Americans have faced both overseas and on the home front. Because of the tumultuous controversies caused by the war, Americans split into two social factions – those against the war and those who supported it. During the years of 1961-1975 - the era in which the war had its greatest effect on Americans - the population of citizens from 18-35 years old and the Presidency were both affected irreversibly.

1)"Although the some Americans still supported their government policy in Vietnam in 1965, as the war went on, more and more Americans turned against it. The Vietnam War had been described to the US public as one where the richest and most powerful country would have a lot of problems defeating one of the smallest and poorest countries in the world. The protests against the war started

The Vietnam war was one of the most disliked wars that forced many young men to report for duty and fight for their country. The war called for men all around the US to head out to war to fight in Vietnam. This war was very disliked by US citizens all over the state. When the Vietnam soldiers returned back to their country after about a year of fighting everyone was giving them shame and despising them. Adding on to that these soldiers didn’t even want to go to war they were forced to. Even though these soldiers risked their lives for our country, the vietnam soldiers were treated unfairly when they returned home from war.

The Vietnam war was one of the most publicly hated wars in American history. The amount of people killed and the amount of people declared MIA is unfathomable. These troops were never liked, never supported, and to this day are over looked because no one wants to remember the years of the Vietnam war.

The Vietnam War was marked by brutality, death, protests, and psychological tolls. No war caused such great division among the American people like the Vietnam War. The war was extremely costly, and it left long-term effects on people all over the world. As a whole, the American people agree that the Vietnam War was a waste of time, money, and life.

Tensions were not only rising in Vietnam but they were also rising on American soil. Opposition to the war escalated as the casualties grew, which created divisions among people of the American society. The United States government

I love Bruce Springsteen’s choices. The songs he picked not only pleased him acoustically, but also brought about great influence on his career journey. It’s all over now by The Rolling Stones never failed to inspire Bruce Springsteen in the early stage of his career. At the time that he got thrown out of the band, he was frustrated and he made up his mind of being a “lead guitar player”. Through the repetitive practice, he finally managed to play a “relatively decent version of Keith’s solo”. This record

Vietnam was a country divided into two by communism in the North and capitalism in the South. The Vietnam War, fought between the years 1959 and 1975, was, in essence, a struggle by nationalists in the north to unify the nation under a communist government. This was a long standing conflict between the two sides that had been occurring for years. It wasn’t until 1959 when the USA, stepped in, on the side of southern Vietnamese, to stop the spread of communism. It was a war that did not capture the hearts and minds of the American people as it was viewed as a war that the US army couldn’t win and so the government lost the peoples support for the war. This ultimately led to the withdrawal of the US army from Vietnam. Some people, like

The song from its release sparked great controversy over it’s meaning, with the up tempo beat and catchy chorus “I was Born in the U.S.A.” was often misinterpreted as a patriotic American song, during a time when U.S. morale was low and American’s had nostalgia for the 1950’s (Pompeian). President Ronald Reagan was the most notable for misinterpreting the lyrics behind “Born in The U.S.A.” as he used it for his 1984 campaign. Although “Born In The U.S.A” has a catchy chorus, which can easily be mistaken as a patriotic song, it is in the verses where Springsteen speaks of the troubles Vietnam War veterans had when readjusting to American society and the struggles Americans faced with deindustrialization and the economic troubles during the 1980’s.
