Bruce Springsteen

  Life and career
  19491972: Early years
  Springsteen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and spent his childhood and high school years in Freehold Borough. He lived off South Street in Freehold Borough and attended Freehold Borough High School. His father, Douglas Frederick Springsteen, was of Dutch and Irish ancestry and worked, among other vocations, as a bus driver; his surname is Dutch for stepping stone. His mother, Adele Ann (ne Zerilli), was a legal secretary and was of Italian ancestry. His grandfather was born in Vico Equense, a city near Naples. He has two younger sisters, Virginia and Pamela. Pamela had a brief film career, but left acting to pursue still photography full time; she took photos for the Human Touch and Lucky Town albums.
  Raised a Roman Catholic, Springsteen attended the St. Rose of Lima Catholic school in Freehold Borough, where he was at odds with both the nuns and other students, even though much of his later music reflects a deep Catholic ethos and included many rock-influenced, traditional Irish-Catholic hymns.
  In ninth grade, he transferred to the public Freehold Regional High School, but did not fit in there, either. Old teachers have said he was a loner, who wanted nothing more than to play his guitar. He completed high school, but felt so uncomfortable that he skipped his own graduation ceremony. He briefly attended Ocean County College, but dropped out.
  Springsteen had been inspired to take up music at the age of seven after seeing Elvis Presley on The Ed Sullivan Show. At 13, he bought his first guitar for $18; later, his mother took out a loan to buy the 16-year-old Springsteen a $60 Kent guitar, as he later memorialized in his song The Wish.
  In 1965, he went to the house of Tex and Marion Vinyard, who sponsored young bands in town. They helped him become lead guitarist and subsequently the lead singer of The Castiles. The Castiles recorded two original songs at a public recording studio in Brick Township and played a variety of venues, including Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village. Marion Vinyard said that she believed the young Springsteen when he promised he would make it big.
  Called for induction when he was 19, Springsteen failed his physical examination and didnt serve in Vietnam. In an interview in Rolling Stone magazine in 1984, he said, When I got on the bus to go take my physical, I thought one thing: I aint goin. He suffered a concussion in a motorcycle accident when he was 17, and this together with his crazy behaviour at induction and not taking the tests, was enough to get him a 4F.
  New Jersey beach towns such as Asbury Park, New Jersey inspired the themes of ordinary life in Bruce Springsteens music.
  In the late 1960s, Springsteen performed briefly in a power trio known as Earth, playing in clubs in New Jersey. Springsteen acquired the nickname The Boss during this period as when he played club gigs with a band he took on the task of collecting the bands nightly pay and distributing it amongst his bandmates. Springsteen, however, has never liked this nickname, due to his dislike of bosses. Lately, however, he seems to have accepted the nickname. Many recent concerts have audiences making up various signs on banners, license plates and so on saying, Boss Time. Previously he had the nickname Doctor. From 1969 through early 1971, Springsteen performed with Steel Mill, which also featured Danny Federici, Vini Lopez, Vinnie Roslin and later Steve Van Zandt and Robbin Thompson. They went on to play the mid-Atlantic college circuit, and also briefly in California. In January 1970 well-known San Francisco Examiner music critic Philip Elwood gave Springsteen credibility in his glowing assessment of Steel Mill: I have never been so overwhelmed by totally unknown talent. Elwood went on to praise their cohesive musicality and, in particular, singled out Springsteen as a most impressive composer. During this time Springsteen also performed regularly at small clubs in Asbury Park and along the Jersey Shore, quickly gathering a cult following. Other acts followed over the next two years, as Springsteen sought to shape a unique and genuine musical and lyrical style: Dr Zoom & the Sonic Boom (earlyid 1971), Sundance Blues Band (mid 1971), and The Bruce Springsteen Band (mid 1971id 1972). With the addition of pianist David Sancious, the core of what would later become the E Street Band was formed, with occasional temporary additions such as horn sections, The Zoomettes (a group of female backing vocalists for Dr Zoom) and Southside Johnny Lyon on harmonica. Musical genres explored included blues, R&B, jazz, church music, early rockn'roll, and soul. His prolific songwriting ability, with more words in some individual songs than other artists had in whole albums, brought his skill to the attention of several people who were about to change his life: new managers Mike Appel and Jim Cretecos, and legendary Columbia Records talent scout John Hammond, who, under Appels pressure,...

Celebrating 25 Years Of Togetherness With Special Gifts

• Sep 13, 2010 from bestofthenets(Marilyn Lee) in *
  Marriages arent as easy as people think. Sticking it out through the good times and bad and making a lifetime together is something that deserves a lot of celebration. If the wedding milestone has been 25 years, then it becomes more than just another wedding anniversary. Sure there might be an evening date planned in an expensive hotel, but for a silver anniversary, it needs to be bigger than just the wedding couple. Gifts help in adding more meaning to the special day, and here are some ideas that you can explore.
  Theres a reason its called the silver anniversary, and this suggests that silver would make for a perfect gift. The variations of gifts are many- from jewellery with engraved messages, to picture frames and keepsakes. The thing to remember is that they should come with silver as the precious metal of choice. Getting the silver gifts customized makes them more special. If you get a picture frame, ensure it is engraved, and makes the couple reminiscent about something that happened in the life that they share together.
  The great thing about wine is that it makes a great gift. How do you give it as a silver anniversary gift though? First ensure it comes in a wine box, and with two glasses. Upon request, the glasses can be engraved with a personal message to the happy couple. A 25 year old bottle will be highly symbolic, so if you can get one the better. If not, then a rare bottle of champagne, like Dom Perignon should suffice.
  When you want your gift to be really personal, you can create a custom photo album with an engraved message. If you can find a compilation of photos that you have taken over the years of the couple since the time the met, and for the years they have been together, the better. Then add a special compilation of songs, like those that they danced to on their wedding day, and the favorite songs that the couple adores. If you want to add flowers to this, get irises since they are symbolic of silver anniversaries.
  There are so many other gifts that you could get the couple, but the above mentioned ones should give you a place to start. More expensive gifts include sponsoring the couple to a second honeymoon. If not then a well thought out gift will be appreciated all the same.
