Bruce Springsteen – The Artist

Bruce Springsteen (born 1949) is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he is recognised for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and lengthy, energetic stage performances. Bruce Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984) find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life. He has sold more than 135 million records worldwide and more than 64 million records in the United States, making him one of the world’s best-selling artists.

Hungry Heart – The Song

Hungry Heart is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen on his fifth album, The River. It was released as the album’s lead single in 1980 and became Springsteen’s first big hit. When Springsteen met Joey Ramone in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Ramone asked him to write a song for The Ramones. Springsteen composed “Hungry Heart” that night, but decided to keep it for himself on the advice of his producer and manager, Jon Landau. Previously, upbeat and catchy Springsteen songs such as “Blinded by the Light”, “Because the Night”, and “Fire” had been given away and become hits for others, and Landau preferred the trend not continue.

Pac Man – The Shape

Modelled into the lead hungry arcade character Pac-Man chomping down on a heart. Pac-Man, is an arcade game designed by Toru Iwatani of Namco and first released in Japan as Puck Man in May 1980. Licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway Games, it was released in October 1980 when top arcade games were stark space shooters, such as Asteroids. Pac-Man established the conventions of the maze chase genre, and is considered one of the classics of the medium and an icon of 1980s popular culture. The game and subsequent entries in the series—became a social phenomenon that crossed over to other media. Dozens of similarly-styled maze games appeared over the next several years, with some becoming successful in their own right.
