The title song from Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. has been used a number of times by politicians running for office. Look up the lyrics to “Born in the U.S.A.” How would you describe the song’s protagonist? Do you think Springsteen’s outfit on the cover of Born in the U.S.A. helps tell the story of the lyrics? Why or why not? Research some of the politicians that have used/wanted to use Born in the U.S.A. during their campaigns. What kind of voters do you think politicians might have been trying to appeal to by using “Born in the U.S.A.”? Why might Springsteen’s clothing choices and style of music seem to represent that group of voters?
