Cultural Criticism: Past and Present

Abstract

In September 1988, I joined 75,000 other people in Philadelphia's J.F.K. Stadium for one of three U.S. performances of the Amnesty International rock and roll tour. After six hours of driving music, hard bleacher seats, and all of the distractions of a restless crowd, Bruce Springsteen, the Boss, took the stage. Just above the roar of thousands I could make out a few bars of music-a solo piano, then a plaintive harmonica, straining coarsely, longingly. A hush fell over the crowd; then, perfectly in unison, seventy-five thousand voices lifted the words into the night.
