The Quiz: In 1993, Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about the streets of which city?
Atlanta
Seattle
Philadelphia
Boston
Bruce Springsteen wrote “Streets of Philadelphia” for the 1993 Tom Hanks film “Philadelphia,” then released the song as a single in 1994. Critics called the track “somber” and “powerful,” much like the movie for which it was written, and Springsteen went on to win four Grammys for his performance, as well as the Academy Award for Best Original Song. His competition in the category included Neil Young’s “Philadelphia,” which was written for the same film, and Janet Jackson’s “Again,” which appeared in “Poetic Justice.”
The correct answer to this quiz is Philadelphia.
