Springsteen’s "Nebraska" as a Political, Sonic, and Personal Document

from The Pop Culture Professors · host Stephen Dyson and Jeff Dudas

It’s The Pop Culture Professors, and we consider Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska as personal and political document. With the release of the Nebraska 82 box set, and Deliver Me From Nowhere – about the making of the album – we take up the musical and social importance of Springsteen’s lo-fi lament. One of us has been listening to Nebraska for their whole adult life, the other had never heard of it until a week ago. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
