The American studies scholar Professor Portelli discusses the music and lyrics of Bruce Springsteen in an exclusive lecture/concert organized by the Oral History Initiative at Dit’ e Nat’, Prishtina on September 16, 2015.
Moving from music to literature, from history to the present, Portelli discusses Bruce Springsteen, the singer who sings the America that Portelli loves, the America founded on work, where the promise of social mobility and self-realization is often frustrated and betrayed.
Listen to him talk about class conscience and rock’n’roll here.
