"The hungry and the hunted/explode into rock 'n roll bands"
I can still remember blasting Born To Run in my sister's bedroom, the room filling with blue collar poetry and soaring, bittersweet optimism. David Masciotra must have similar memories. Thursday, July 15, he'll be at Revolution Books reading from Working on a Dream: The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen. "What really draws me to his music and makes me come back to it from a political perspective is, [in] his (lyrical) world, he places everyday people at the front and center," Masciotra said. "He views the world through their lens, and that's a very powerful and important message in a democracy." Revolution Books, 1103 N. Ashland Ave., 7pm.
