    Published in Psychology of Music Online 11.1.2020, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0305735619891774 Bruce Springsteen fan behavior and identification Helinä Häkkänen-Nyholm, PhD, Adjunct professor, CEO Psychology Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland and PsyJuridica Ltd Correspondence: Dr Helinä Häkkänen-Nyholm, email: [email protected] Abstract The present research studied Bruce Springsteen fans and investigated their fanship and fandom, fan-related behavior, worship and psychological functions for listening to Springsteen’s music. In total, 600 Springsteen fans from the United States, Canada, Europe, the Nordic countries, South-Africa and South America filled an online survey distributed to them via fan forums. The results showed that on average the respondents had been Springsteen fans for three decades and had attended to 27 shows in total. The primary function of listening to Springsteen’s music was to achieve self-awareness. Over half of the respondents listened to Springsteen’s music daily and in average, over half of the fans’ total music consumption was by Springsteen. The fans were also heavily involved in popular forms of fan consumption. Analyses showed some gender and cultural differences, particularly with females scoring higher level of fan identification and consumption, but no age differences. These findings indicate that it was possible to identify quantitative differences between fan behavior and identification which have implications for rock music marketing and management industry. Keywords: Bruce Springsteen, rock music, fanship, fandom, worship Introduction Statistics from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) of the highest-certified music artists in the United States, based on certifications on wholesale shipments, show that Bruce Springsteen ranks as no 15 on the album list with his 65.5 million sold albums in the U.S.A alone.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INTRODUCING GRACE’S ROCKIN’ ROLL ADVENTURE FEATURING ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER LITTLE STEVEN VAN ZANDT A NEW BOOK THAT USES MUSIC TO EMPOWER TEACHERS AND INSPIRE YOUNG STUDENTS IN READING, SCIENCE, AND MATH --Book and accompanying “STEAM” Lesson Plan Launched as Part of Rock and Roll Forever Foundation’s K-12 TeachRock Initiative --- New York, NY (October XX) – Grace’s Rockin’ Roll Adventure, a new children’s book featuring the characters from The Musical Adventures of Grace series accompanied by rock star and actor Steven Van Zandt, connects music and early elementary reading, science, and math. Developed as a partnership between TeachRock.org, the main initiative of Van Zandt’s Rock and Roll Forever Foundation, and author Ken Korber’s Center for Functional Learning, the book also features an accompanying lesson plan that engages the youngest learners in a fun, music-filled “STEAM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) project. Grace’s Rockin’ Roll Adventure is currently being piloted in TeachRock Partner Schools and select school systems in New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois. In the book, the 9th in the Musical Adventures of Grace Series, Grace and her classmates win a contest to attend a Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul concert—a realistic plot considering that during his 2018 Teacher Solidarity Tour, Van Zandt gifted tickets to nearly 10,000 students and teachers nationwide. Invigorated by the music, Grace approaches Van Zandt, who bequeaths an instrument, setting the young musician on a rock and roll adventure with her classmates. In the accompanying workbook, real-life students learn about the various shapes in guitar designs, and ultimately combine music, math, art, and geometry to create a two- dimensional instrument of their own.

Springsteen frequently changes up the W set list and takes requests from the audience, so every performance is unique. In December, Springsteen released The Ties that Bind: The River Collection, a four-CD-plus three-DVD special edition boxed set of The River—originally released in 1980— which included outtakes as well as photographs and other memorabilia. To celebrate the release, Springsteen and the band appeared on Saturday Take Me to Night Live; the rehearsals for the telecast led him to think about a tour. “The first call I got was that Bruce wanted to start tour rehearsals immediately after the SNL performance, since the band would be together and everyone would have had a warm-up,” explains Springsteen’s longtime production designer Jeff Ravitz, of Intensity Advisors, headquartered in North Hollywood, California. the River It was the holiday season, and the Bruce Springsteen revisits his time line that Springsteen was 1980 album with some very considering “nearly put me into an 2016 lighting technology apoplectic seizure,” Ravitz says.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting The
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks on Presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom November 22, 2016 The President. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. We've got some work to do here. [Laughter] This is not all fun and games. [Laughter] Welcome to the White House, everybody. Today we celebrate extraordinary Americans who have lifted our spirits, strengthened our Union, pushed us toward progress. I always love doing this event, but this is a particularly impressive class. [Laughter] We've got innovators and artists, public servants, rabble rousers, athletes, renowned character actors, like the guy from "Space Jam." [Laughter] We pay tribute to those distinguished individuals with our Nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Now, let me tell you a little bit about each of them. First, we came close to missing out on a Bill and Melinda Gates's incredible partnership. Because apparently Bill's opening line was, "Do you want to go out 2 weeks from this coming Saturday?" [Laughter] I mean, he's good with computers, but—[laughter]. Fortunately, Melinda believes in second chances. And the world is better for it. For two decades, the Gates Foundation has worked to provide lifesaving medical care to millions, boosting clean water supplies, improving education for our children, rallying aggressive international action on climate change, cutting childhood mortality in half. The list could go on. These two have donated more money to charitable causes than anyone ever. Many years ago, Melinda's mom told her an old saying: "To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived, that is success." And by this and just about any other measure, few in human history have been more successful than these two impatient optimists.

  • Bruce Springsteen: Live! Les Seves Preferides És Una De Les Figures Més Rellevants Del Panorama Musical Roquer De L'últim Quart De Segle
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 02/07/2020 a les 17:38 Bruce Springsteen: Live! les seves preferides És una de les figures més rellevants del panorama musical roquer de l'últim quart de segle Bruce Springsteen: Live! les seves preferides. Bruce Springsteen és una de les figures més rellevants del panorama musical roquer de l'últim quart de segle. Bruce Springsteen, que el proper setembre complirà 71 anys, ha actuat en gairebé 3.000 concerts en els cinc continents, gravat 19 àlbums d'estudi i venut prop de 65 milions de discos, la qual cosa el situa entre els 15 artistes amb més discos venuts de la història de la música. Bruce Springsteen (Nova Jersey, 1949) es va sentir cridat per la música el dia que va veure a Elvis Presley per televisió, moment que en la seva autobiografia qualifica com el seu particular ?Big Bang?. Però seria als 60's, amb el descobriment de The Beatles, quan va tenir clar al que es dedicaria i va convèncer a la seva mare, Adele, perquè li comprés la seva primera guitarra elèctrica, fet que homenatjaria anys més tard amb el tema The Wish, inclòs a l'àlbum de rareses, Tracks (1998). Al 1965 ja era el guitarrista i cantant de la banda The Castiles i a finals dels 60's era conegut amb el sobrenom de ?The Boss?, perquè es cuidava de cobrar els bolos i de repartir els diners entre els seus companys de banda. Entre 1969 i 1971 Springsteen toca pels voltants de Nova Jersey i a clubs d' Asbury Park, acompanyat del guitarrista Steve Van Zandt, l'organista Danny Federici, el bateria Vini López i el baixista Vinnie Roslin en una banda coneguda com Steel Mill, adquirint progressivament tot un seguici de fans de culte.
