It has been argued that Rock and Roll is one of the most valuable things that America has contributed to the world over the last fifty years. And there is no artist in rock who can claim to represent America better than Bruce Springsteen. His music provides an in-depth analysis of Americans in their work and play; and through his career, Springsteen has been an enduring cultural symbol for America. Springsteen takes the American dream and the struggles that effect everyone and turns them into poetry.
