A catalog nearly fifty years in the making, Bruce Springsteen's
music remains popular and a frequent subject of study yet little
critical attention has been given to its inclusion in film and
television. This book examines a selection of films and TV shows
from the 1980s to the present-including Mask, High Fidelity, The
Sopranos and The Wrestler-that feature Springsteen's music on the
soundtrack. Relating his thematic preoccupations with religion, the
Vietnam War, the promise of the open road, economic disparity and
blue-collar malaise, his songs color narrative and articulate the
inner lives of characters. This book explores the many on-screen
contexts of Springsteen's work from Greetings from Asbury Park,
N.J. to Springsteen on Broadway.
