Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist and was born on September 23, 1949. Springsteen is mostly known for his style of heartland rock full of pop hooks, poetic lyrics and Americana outlooks. He has earned various awards for his ability to state ordinary problems with eloquence, including 15 Grammys and an Academy Award. He has also gained a notoriously devoted fan base. He didn’t appreciate his nickname “The Boss” until recently, even using it onstage to refer to himself. He got the name from when he was playing club gigs with his band in the 1960s, where he collected the band’s nightly wages and handed the money out to his band mates.

His music’s first appearance in movies was in John Sayles’ 1983 film “Baby, It’s You,” which included numerous songs from “Born to Run.” His song “Secret Garden” was put on the Jerry Maguire soundtrack. Sean Penn was so inspired by Springsteen’s song “Highway Patrolman,” he wrote the movie “The Indian Runner.” Springsteen was nominated for another Oscar for his song “Dead Man Walkin’” from the movie “Dead Man Walking;” and “Lift Me Up” was run over the credits for John Sayles’ film, “Limbo.” He also made an appearance in High Fidelity starring John Cusack.
