To some extent I think Bruce knew when he entered my life—in fact, I know he knew this—there were other art- ists in my life. He was entering an area with CUNNINGHAM other artists. I had just finished an album R for Leiber and Stoller down in Nashville for ETE P the group called Montana Flintlock, which Tinker [West] also brought to me. We had just signed an artist by the name of Tony Azito to Epic Records. Bruce realized that we were guys that had relationships with record labels and other producers, with publishers, writers… that, hey, these guys are in. So we were guys that had “the in” in the record industry, and he knew that. From what I understand, you had a band yourself called the Camelots. You played, at one point, even if it was for one song, with Jay and the Americans, with Link Wray & His Ray Men… and tell me a little about Hugo & Luigi. Oh, sure. Hugo & Luigi—in fact, I went to lunch last year with Luigi Creatore. Hugo has passed away? Hugo Peretti passed away. Luigi Creatore’s still alive, and to make a long story short, he’s the guy—he, George David Weiss, and Hugo Peretti wrote “Can’t Help Falling in Love” for Elvis. Bruce sings that song. See, there are these little connections with all of us guys in the music industry. Six degrees of separation. Yeah, you’re damn straight. Like Ralph Gleason, when he was interviewing Hank Williams, Sr., he asked him a question. He said, “Hank, who are your favorite singers?” So Hank mentioned this guy by the name of Bill Darnell. Bill Darnell signed Mike Appel. Bill Darnell signed me to his label and then later took me over to Herald and Ember Records. Herald and Ember had songs like, you know, Maurice Williams and “Stay.” Bruce Springsteen sings that. Jackson Browne had a big hit with “Stay.” “Jungleland” and “Thunder Road.” These Given your own background as a Al Silver, who owned Herald and Ember, are not what I would call normal pop songs. songwriter and that Bruce was virtually also had “Get a Job,” he had “In the Still of unknown at the time, did you consider the the Night.” He had all those hits, and he got They were more operatic. terms of the contract to be egregious?

  • Greetings 1 Greetings from Freehold: How Bruce Springsteen's
    Greetings 1 Greetings from Freehold: How Bruce Springsteen’s Hometown Shaped His Life and Work David Wilson Chairman, Communication Council Monmouth University Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium Presented Sept. 26, 2009 Greetings 2 ABSTRACT Bruce Springsteen came back to Freehold, New Jersey, the town where he was raised, to attend the Monmouth County Fair in July 1982. He played with Sonny Kenn and the Wild Ideas, a band whose leader was already a Jersey Shore-area legend. About a year later, he recorded the song "County Fair" with the E Street Band. As this anecdote shows, Freehold never really left Bruce even after he made a name for himself in Asbury Park and went on to worldwide stardom. His experiences there were reflected not only in "County Fair" but also in "My Hometown," the unreleased "In Freehold" and several other songs. He visited a number of times in the decades after his family left for California. Freehold’s relative isolation enabled Bruce to develop his own musical style, derived largely from what he heard on the radio and on records. More generally, the town’s location, history, demographics and economy shaped his life and work. “County Fair,” the first of three sections of this paper, will recount the July 1982 episode and its aftermath. “Growin’ Up,” the second, will review Bruce’s years in Freehold and examine the ways in which the town influenced him. “Goin’ Home,” the third, will highlight instances when he returned in person, in spirit and in song. Greetings 3 COUNTY FAIR Bruce Springsteen couldn’t be sitting there.

  • “Born to Run”—Bruce Springsteen (1975) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Born to Run”—Bruce Springsteen (1975) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Bruce Springsteen “Born to Run” was Bruce Springsteen’s third album. The man who is “The Boss” has admitted that the creation of it was his blatant attempt for a true rock and roll record as well as commercial success after the tepid commercial reception of his earlier two albums, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” (1973) and “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuttle” (1973). On both counts, he got his wish. Upon its release, “Born to Run” would rise to number three on the charts. Besides gaining massive audience attention (by the end of the year Springsteen would be featured on the covers of both “Time” and “Newsweek”), “Born to Run” also saw the accomplishment of two other major factors in Springsteen’s artistic development. First, it saw the solidification of the line-up of Springsteen’s legendary back-up musicians, the E-Street Band. Second, it fully delivered on Springsteen’s early promise which saw him labeled as both a “modern day Dylan” and as “rock ‘n’ roll’s future.” Along with “Born to Run” being named to the National Registry in 2003, it has been ranked number eight on a list of rock’s all-time greatest albums by “Rolling Stone” magazine and was place at 18th on VH1’s list of the 500 greatest rock albums ever. Eight songs make up the tracks of “Born to Run”: “Thunder Road,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze- Out,” “Night,” “Backstreets,” “Born to Run,” “She’s the One,” “Meeting Across the River,” and “Jungleland.” In writing and developing the album, Springsteen has said he was hoping to recreate Phil Spector’s legendary “wall of sound” producing approach.

  • The Enforcement of Outdoor Municipal Lighting Ordinances in Texas
    Blinded by the Light: The Enforcement of Outdoor Municipal Lighting Ordinances in Texas Ryan Kellus Turner TMCEC General Counsel and Director of Education Prepare to be enlightened. Throughout the United States, more local governments are implementing outdoor lighting regulations. ―Light trespass‖ refers to lighting directed into areas that it is not wanted (e.g., a neighbor's yard or window). Proponents of outdoor lighting regulations claim that light pollution1 is the product of outdoor lighting that is inadequately shielded. Inadequately shielded lighting, in turn, results in over illumination which not only wastes energy (―to the tune of $2.2 billion per year in the U.S. alone‖)2 but can have detrimental effects on human health and psychology.3 It also contributes to ―skyglow,‖ the scattering of light in the atmosphere, which hinders urban star gazing.4 Although not noticeable to the human eye, reduction of natural sky polarization impairs navigation and migration patterns of certain animals and has a negative impact on native ecosystems.5 Efforts to raise awareness about the value of dark star-filled skies and to encourage their protection and restoration have been the focus of the International Dark Sky Association (IDA).6 Since the nonprofit incorporated in 1988, the IDA’s principal approach has entailed promoting discussion of outdoor lighting practices that create less light pollution and assisting in collating lighting research on light at night’s effect on human health and ecology. To promote awareness about the importance of such issues, the IDA in 2001 began its International Dark Sky Places (IDSPlaces) program that aims to protect ―locations of exceptional night time visages for future generations.‖7 The IDSPlaces program recognizes parks, reserves, and communities.

I will be relating that concept to his latest album release, “Letter to You” by analyzing track by track and attempting to find that common thread of connection that seems to speak so well to him and his audience. Why? I chose this topic and album because throughout this course I have really enjoyed dissecting Springsteen’s work and relating it to a bigger picture. As I have progressed throughout this course, I have been able to elevate my writing and approach song analysis in a new, more refined way. I also felt as though choosing “Letter to You” would allow for me to make the most accurate interpretation of what Springsteen is trying to say in the current moment since it just got released a few months ago. Overall, I wanted to write about this because it allows for some creative freedom, a stream of consciousness and a continuation of the work I have been trying to perfect over the semester in this class.

  • Persona, Autobiography and the Magic of Retrospection in Bruce Springsteen's Late Career
    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 1 BRILLIANT DISGUISES: PERSONA, AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND THE MAGIC OF RETROSPECTION IN BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S LATE CAREER RICHARD ELLIOTT ABSTRACT Popular musicians with long careers provide rich source material for the study of persona, authenticity, endurance and the maintenance (and reinvention) of significant bodies of work. The songs of successful artists create a soundtrack not only to their own lives, but also to those of their audiences, and to the times in which they were created and to which they bore witness. The work of singers who continue to perform after several decades can be heard in terms of their ‘late voice’ (Elliott 2015a), a concept that has potentially useful insights for the study of musical persona. This article exploits this potential by considering how musical persona is de- and re-constructed in performance. I base my articulation of the relationship between persona, life-writing and retrospective narrativity on a close reading of two late texts by Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run, the autobiography he published in 2016, and Springsteen on Broadway, the audiovisual record of a show that ran from October 2017 to December 2018. In these texts, Springsteen uses the metaphor of the ‘magic trick’ as a framing device to shuttle between the roles of autobiographical myth-breaker and lyrical protagonist. He repeatedly highlights his songs as fictions that bear little relation to his actual life, while also showing awareness that, as often happens with popular song, he has been mapped onto his characters in ways that prove vital for their sense of authenticity.
