About Bob Santelli<\/h2>\n

Robert Santelli \u201973, the founding executive director of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum, is a noted blues and rock historian, author, educator and founding director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Santelli has written widely on Jersey Shore music, its wider cultural implications and speaks with passion about his journey from youthful music fan to internationally distinguished expert, while acknowledging the role Monmouth University has played in his personal and professional development.<\/p>\n

Santelli served as the music critic for the Asbury Park Press<\/em> from 1974 to 1988. He has taught at both Monmouth and Rutgers universities and is widely regarded as a principal spokesperson for the music of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

He was an active supporter and key figure in the acquisition of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection which, last year, became the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music<\/a> at Monmouth University, a collaboration that designated the university as the official archival repository for Springsteen\u2019s written works, photographs, periodicals and artifacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
