  • Journal of Academic Perspectives
    Journal of Academic Perspectives Religion, Politics, and Public Discourse: Bruce Springsteen and the Public Church of Roll Frederick L. Downing, Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies, Valdosta State University and Jonathan W. Downing, Co-Director, Screaming Shih-Tzu Productions Abstract The thesis of this paper is that Bruce Springsteen’s art participates in a musical public square in which the outsider can come up close and overhear a dialogue that has been going on for centuries. Following the work of Robert Detweiler on religion and public life, this paper starts from the premise that the bard’s music, like literature, creates a type of public square or a form of public discourse where urgent matters of human survival, like the nature and nurture of a just state, are expressed, a call for social justice can be heard, and faith and hope for the future can be assimilated. Using the theory of Martin Marty on religion and civic life, the paper further describes Springsteen’s work as the creation of a “public church” beyond sectarian demand which is open to all and approximates, in his language, a true “land of hopes and dreams.” The paper uses the theory of Walter Brueggemann on the ancient church idea to demonstrate the nature and dimension of Springsteen’s “public church.” Using Brueggemann’s theory, Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball album is shown to have both a prophetic and priestly function. As a writer and performer, Springsteen demonstrates on this album and on the Wrecking Ball tour that he not only speaks truth to power, but attempts to create a sense of alternative vision and alternative community to the unjust status quo.

  • Steve Earle Townes Biography
    Steve Earle Townes Biography Steve Earle had two reasons for coming out with this long-planned tribute to Townes Van Zandt now. The first reason is practical. Earle is currently pushing himself to finish a years-in-the-making novel, and he wants to see it in print before the publishing business goes belly up. The second is a more personal concern. Like all artists worthy of the name, Steve Earle loves the truth, and in the case of Van Zandt, he sees that the waters are muddying before his eyes. Very often over periods of years, the truth first becomes myth and myth later becomes truth. In regards to his teacher, hero and friend Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle was not about to let that happen. “I’m very thankful that when I got out of jail I started meeting people like Jay Farrar and other people his age that knew Townes chapter and verse,” he says. “I’ve always been very thankful for that. But a lot of what powered that is a take on roots music that comes from alternative music, and the crowd that kind of attached itself to Townes was the same kind of people that have White Light / White Heat in the front of their record collection so everybody knows how intense they are when they have a party. I love that record, but I don’t think I’ve listened to it all the way through since I bought it.” “I’m tryin’ not to kill myself,” he laughs. Van Zandt’s reputation has been under something of an overhaul since the dawn of the 1990s.

  • Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart
    Everybody’s Got a hungry heart The Duality in Bruce Springsteen by Andy Paine Two hearts This zine is the result of years of trying to explain to various people my love of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. For many, especially those like me who were born after Bruce’s commercial peak with Born In The USA, Bruce Springsteen is like peak hour traffic or the internet or something – so ubiquitous in our subconscious that you never really think about it. On classic hits radio, in karaoke bars, as a trope to be imitated and parodied; his epic songs of cadillacs and highways and American dreams can be seen as just another kitschy relic of another time, or just one more attack in the never-ending onslaught of US pop culture imperialism. I think that’s why some people are surprised to discover my great love of Bruce Springsteen. But love him I do, and my feelings have only grown stronger the older I have gotten. Partial as I am to a good classic rock song or sax solo; it’s Springsteen the lyricist that I love. So many of his songs are little short stories, and these vignettes avoid tales of rockstar excess or high-concept artistic statement. They are stories of ordinary working class people, written in the classic language of ordinary working class people – rock’n’roll. In this way there is certainly a simplicity to Bruce Springsteen. And I’m sure for many listeners, “The Boss” represents a nostalgic ideal of a simpler, rose-tinted Americana.

  • {FREE} Bruce Springsteen: Two Hearts, the Story
    BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: TWO HEARTS, THE STORY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Dave Marsh | 754 pages | 13 Nov 2003 | Taylor & Francis Ltd | 9780415969284 | English | London, United Kingdom Two Hearts Chords - Bruce Springsteen - Guitar Chords, Transposed 5 Semitones Down Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his iconic status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band present intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which Springsteen intersperses long, whimsical or deeply emotional stories. Springsteen has long had the nickname " The Boss ", a term which he was initially reported to hate but now seems to have come to terms with, as he sometimes jokingly refers to himself as such on stage. The nickname originated when a young Springsteen, playing club gigs with a band in the s, took on the task of collecting the band's nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates. Show us your talent, perform Two Hearts Chords! Here you can post a video or audio performance. Tell me more Here you can post a video of you playing the Two Hearts Chords, so your fellow guitarists will be able to see you and rate you. For this book Marsh has written a new chapter covering major developments in Springsteen's career to today, particularly focusing on his album The Rising and its impact on American culture. Until Springsteen writes his autobiography, this book will stand as the best single introduction to a major force in American culture.
