Born in the USA: Bruce Springsteen and the American Tradition

Capa
Helter Skelter, 1998 - 254 páginas
In 1975, Bruce Springsteen burst onto the American music scene with simultaneous appearances on the covers of Time and Newsweek magazines. His powerful, often stark portrayals of blue-collar life, his thunderous guitar and marathon live shows propelled him to the top of the charts for more than two decades. Now, in the first book of its kind, author Jim Cullen argues that Springsteen should be viewed not in terms of concerts or record sales, but as a cultural icon, a symbol of what's right with America, and an heir to Whitman, Lincoln, Steinbeck, King and other American luminaries. He is, says Cullen, a good conservative, someone who conserves the traditional values of hard work, family and compassion for the less fortunate, ideas long co-opted and corrupted by disingenuous politicians.
