Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen is a powerful storyteller,
whose song texts deal with themes of human life from all angles.
Springsteen's songs protagonist is often "an unsong hero", called
Mary, Joe, Billy, Frank, Jane, etc. Realistic and touching texts
create an emational connection between listener and
songpersons.
Sprigsteens first record was Greetings from Ashbury Park N.J.
His first succe was Born to Run in 1975. The biggest commersiellt
succe was Born in the U.S.A. in 1984. The biggest artistic impact
had in my view the album Nebraska in 1982. He has sold more than
65 million albums in the United States and more than 120 million
worldwide.
Springsteen has become known above all for his concerts. He
has a very rare touch wirh his audience. As guitarist he is also
excellent.
