Abstract

Bruce Springsteen stands as the epitome of the American Dream. From working-class roots to the international stage, he has worked his way to the top through the power of music. This paper aims to compare and contrast Springsteen’s journey with the life of a figure close to home: my father. Both men have succeeded in throwing expectation aside and immersing themselves in their true passion of music.
