Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen grew up in Freehold Borough, New Jersey. He was raised in what you would call a working class household. His mother, Adele, worked as a secretary in a local insurance office and brought in way more money than his father, Doug, did. Doug worked any job he could really get his hands on to help out with the family, but he had trouble all throughout his life with holding down a steady job. What nobody knew is that this environment was molding a little boy into the rock star sensation

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. The song is about Springsteen wanting to run away from his town away from the life of hard labor. The musician's use of rhetorical appeals is successfully displayed in Born to Run. In terms of logos, Springsteen partially uses logical fallacies to generalize people. To start, the musician effectively generalizes a group of people. In the first stanza, he says, "In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream" (1). Springsteen successfully creates

The song “American Skin (41 shots)” by Bruce Springsteen also gives a good perspective of how it is in America. He sings “No secret my friend, you can get killed just for living in, your American Skin[9]” The similarities in the two texts is the theme. They are both trying to show how the world is

Bruce Springsteins I Aint Got No Home (In This World Anymore) and the Great Depression The 1930s was the time of The Great Depression, which resulted in drastic changes. There were many people who starved trying to find employment, while many others did what was possible to survive a little longer. Everyone across the United Stated had tough times; especially families who tried to stick together to survive. American families were left out on the streets because they couldn’t pay their debts.

Section 1 Everybody needs a place to rest/ Everybody wants to have a home/ Don't make no difference what nobody says/. Ain't nobody like to be alone- Bruce Springsteen, “Hungry Heart” In 1980, Bruce Springsteen released a song called “Hungry Heart”. This song is a very gloomy in a sense. Bruce tells us a story about man who impulsively leaves his family and moves away. These lyrics “Everybody needs a place to rest/Everybody wants to have a home/ Don’t make no difference what nobody says/ Ain’t

Sirius XM channel 20, the station my brother and I fear above all others. Home of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, which blares Bruce Springsteen non-stop, our father’s favorite musician. Since the move to digital, we’ve been listening to Born to Run and “I’m on Fire” since my brother learned to run and I set the bathroom on fire. Due to XM’s excruciatingly reliable signal, these have been the soundtracks to countless road trips, and college visits. Occasionally the station will rebroadcast

same after he leaves and continue moving forward once he is gone; but it is not the same, as the poem explains. I enjoyed reading the poem even if it brought me “nothing but teardrops”. The author of this piece of work is a famous singer, Bruce Springsteen. He has won over 20 music awards. Although generally he is not known as a poet, Bruce’s artistic ability to form lyrics with prolific and pithy meaning is a mark of a poet, indeed. Moreover, that is why I enjoyed his form of poetry because it

One evening when I was 8, in the candlelit kitchen of our apartment in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, I sat at the table while my mother stirred a large glass of Kahlua and milk. In the background, Bruce Springsteen sang of gritty streets and the sinister seduction of cocaine. Whenever Springsteen was on the turntable, the mood of our apartment turned morose, and I often felt weighed down by his music as if smothered in heavy blankets. “I want to talk to you,” my mother said, looking up from her drink as

Steeltown U.S.A. was a great read! I enjoyed reading all about Youngstown and the challenges the town had to face. Chapter 4: From “Steel Town” to a “Nice Place to Do Time” was personally one of the best chapters in the book. It was so terribly sad to read about everything the once successful industrialized town had later became. In only twenty short years, Youngstown had evolved into this corrupt place; they even went as far to call it the “murder capital.” Once the mills shut down, the town took
