7. Springsteen = America

Just when you thought fan art couldn’t be educational, DeviantArt user “easybake” steps in to get remedial on your ass. We think he’s either trying to illustrate the science behind logical equivalence or maybe the literary concept of metonomy — we’re not really sure (as you probably guessed, neither of us went to Harvard). The artist doesn’t really give too many clues in the description provided, “Bruce = America, America = Bruce. Basically”. But what he’s saying makes a kind of sense — the drawing shows a pretty decent sketch of Springsteen, a big equals sign, and then a serviceable outline of the U.S. While the Boss might not prefer to be exclusively painted with this particular brush, it’s tough to argue that he and America aren’t in many ways inextricably linked. Heavy is the head that wears the headband.
