Bruce Springsteen



Bruce Springsteen

My City Of Ruin (9-11 Tribute) NYC

Today, it is important to remember one of my favorite singers and songwriters, Bruce Springsteen.




His song, "My City of Ruin, 9-11 Tribute", is a classic Bruce Springsteen. Showing through his music the importance of sharing the struggles in America, more importantly, he gives all hope when you remember where it all began.




Bruce Springsteen is more than just a popular singer/songwriter, he also is recognized for his support of various relief and rebuilding support. His album, The Rising that was released in 2002, centered around his reflections about the September 11th, 2001 Twin Tower attacks.

For the year 2002, The Rising was one of only two albums to receive Rolling Stone's highest rating – five stars – the other being Beck's Sea Change.

I have to admit, my favorite Bruce Springsteen album is "Born in the USA". Nonetheless, Bruce Springsteen lives the Pay it Forward principals in all he has done and continues to do. Thank you, your songs are truly a gift.
