Bruce Springsteen earns 2021 Woody Guthrie Prize for work highlighting the poor and disenfranchised
Fox News
Bruce Springsteen is the recipient of the 2021 Woody Guthrie Prize for his work carrying on the folk singer's legacy of using his music to highlight the plight of the poor and disenfranchised in the world.
"Woody wrote some of the greatest songs about America’s struggle to live up its ideals in convincing fashion," Springsteen said in a statement Tuesday. The New Jersey rocker called Guthrie, who died in 1967 at age 55, "one of my most important influences." Springsteen and previous prize recipient Pete Seeger performed Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" at Barack Obama's 2008 presidential inauguration.More Related News
