Description

Bruce Springsteen’s songs add to the soundtrack of the lives of his audience. From the excitement and turmoil of early adulthood and the social consciousness of middle adulthood to the acceptance of older adulthood, Springsteen wove a tapestry of the story of life in the America of his times. Through a lens of psychosocial development theory, we will explore how Springsteen’s sensitivity to the challenges of life taps into universal resonances for us as listeners, from young adulthood through middle age to older adulthood.
