David Brooks wrote an Op Ed piece for the New York Times called, “The Other Education.” In it, he reflected on the role of music in creating a different kind of education with lessons about personal stories, moral consequences, and life itself. His teacher? Bruce Springsteen, and the stories told through his music. Brooks refers to this second education as one that has influenced and shaped him as much as, if not more, than his formal education. Springsteen seems to agree. In a 2009 Rolling Stone interview, he lamented on the role of music in society, believing that while rockers “don’t have a whole lot of influence,” they can “create a vision of the world as it should be.”
