  • On Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
    TR 11 On Born in the U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen Alina Stefanescu "Born in the U.S.A." He has dark curly hair, a flirt in his laugh, a flag on his mantle, two conservative parents waiting for him back in Atlanta, a family of Limbaugh-lovers and born-again Christians. Bruce Springsteen Born in the U.S.A. Eating it from the inside with their wars and armchair crusades. He is Various the all-American boy I can't stop watching. Born in the U.S.A. "Cover Me" 06/1984 Bombs fall on Baghdad. We kiss like rockets, ready to burn. We are eager to stay free, Columbia running from the last time we lied, the last time we failed. He's not looking for a lover. I'm a single mother 24 years into finding my voice, learning to use it against the war. I'm a wild card, a Romanian-Alabamian. "I'm a shitty girlfriend," I tell him, u"but will y nevero meet a better cover." He shuts the door. "Darlington County" We sit on stools at Jay's and argue about the Iraq war. It's our favorite bar in Arlington, the only place where the owner wears a mullet, offers three-dollar pitchers after work, reminds us of being Southern. The mounted television offers drum-rolls, small-town parades, a diorama of mediated patriotism. He says he can't question the President. Not about war. Not about national security. He was raised a patriot. I relish impugning him, love watching his face fall when I compare him to a missile.

  • Runaway American Dream, Hope and Disillusion in the Early Work
    Runaway American Dream HOPE AND DISILLUSION IN THE EARLY WORK OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Two young Mexican immigrants who risk their lives trying to cross the border; thousands of factory workers losing their jobs when the Ohio steel industry collapsed; a Vietnam veteran who returns to his hometown, only to discover that he has none anymore; and young lovers learning the hard way that romance is a luxury they cannot afford. All of these people have two things in common. First, they are all disappointed that, for them, the American dream has failed. Rather, it has become a bitter nightmare from which there is no waking up. Secondly, their stories have all been documented by the same artist – a poet of the poor as it were – from New Jersey. Over the span of his 43-year career, Bruce Springsteen has captured the very essence of what it means to dream, fight and fail in America. That journey, from dreaming of success to accepting one’s sour destiny, will be the main subject of this paper. While the majority of themes have remained present in Springsteen’s work up until today, the way in which they have been treated has varied dramatically in the course of those more than forty years. It is this evolution that I will demonstrate in the following chapters. But before looking at something as extensive as a life-long career, one should first try to create some order in the large bulk of material. Many critics have tried to categorize Springsteen’s work in numerous ‘phases’. Some of them have reasonable arguments, but most of them made the mistake of creating strict chronological boundaries between relatively short periods of time1, unfortunately failing to see the numerous connections between chronologically remote works2 and the continuity that Springsteen himself has pointed out repeatedly.

From Badlands to Better Days: Bruce Springsteen Observes Law and Politics William Haltom and Michael W. McCann Western Political Science Association San Francisco 1996 Bruce Springsteen defines himself as a story-teller.1 We agree that Springsteen is as tal- ented a story-teller as rock and roll has produced.2 He has written romances of adolescence and adolescents; lyrical tales of escapes, escapees, and escapists; and elegies on parents and parenthood. The best of Springsteen’s song-stories deftly define characters by their purposes and artfully articulate the artist’s attitude toward his “material.” Not so Springsteen’s songs that con- cern law or politics. In these songs the artist’s attitude toward his creations is often lost in a flood of seemingly studied ambiguity and the charactors’ purposes are usually murky. Spring- steen, in legal and political songs as well as in his other stories, almost always evokes emotion. Until recently, too many of his songs of law or politics have been rock-and-roll Rorschach blots: scenes, acts, and actors without clear purposes and attitudes.

This marks Khalid’s first Billboard Top 200 debut. “Free Spirit” is available now via Right Hand Music Group / RCA Records. The Associated Press called “Free Spirit” “Stunning” and it was The New York Times “Critic’s Pick”. Additionally, Khalid announced his Free Spirit World Tour. For more information and tickets, go to – (http://www.khalidofficial.com) About Khalid: Multi-platinum selling global superstar Khalid recently released his sophomore album "Free Spirit" which was declared a New York Times “Critic’s Pick” and was called “superb” by the Associted Press. The first single from the album, "Talk," is off to an explosive start. Khalid catapulted into massive worldwide success when he released his first single “Location” right before his high school graduation. The song’s domination (4x platinum) led to Khalid’s major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records followed by the release of his debut album, the double platinum certified, American Teen. The album, which garnered Khalid 5 Grammy nominations (along with numerous other nominations) received mass critical acclaim with Rolling Stone calling Khalid a “pop prodigy” and TIME Magazine stating, “His thoughtful, relatable reflections on modern youth culture and the limitations of love are just as pitch-perfect as his soulful, measured delivery.” American Teen shattered expectations, as it stayed in the Top 200 for 51 weeks, peaked at #4, and stayed in the Top 20 for 48 out of the 51 weeks it was in the Top 200.
