Castile (historical Region)
Castile or Castille (; ) is a territory of imprecise limits located in Spain. The invention of the concept of Castile relies on the assimilation (via a metonymy) of a 19th-century determinist geographical notion, that of Castile as Spain's ("tableland core", connected to the Meseta Central) with a long-gone historical entity of diachronically variable territorial extension (the Kingdom of Castile). The proposals advocating for a particular semantic codification/closure of the concept (a '' dialogical'' construct) are connected to essentialist arguments relying on the reification of something that does not exist beyond the social action of those building Castile not only by identifiying with it as a homeland of any kind, but also ''in opposition'' to it. A hot topic concerning the concept of Castile is its relation with Spain, insofar intellectuals, politicians, writers, or historians have either endorsed, nuanced or rejected the idea of the ''maternity'' of Spain by Castile, ...

The Castiles
The Castiles were a Freehold, New Jersey-based rock and roll band that featured vocalist/guitarist/harmonica player Bruce Springsteen, and was formed by guitarist/vocalist George Theiss, with various lineups during its existence. They recorded two songs, and performed throughout New Jersey and New York before disbanding in 1968. Springsteen went on to a successful recording and touring career, while Theiss was in various New Jersey bands, none that earned notoriety. Theiss died on July 13, 2018. History In 1964, Theiss saw The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, and decided to form a band called The Castiles, named after the shampoo brand he was using at the time. He was romantically interested in Springsteen's sister, Virginia, and when Theiss would go to her house, her brother was playing guitar. Theiss asked Springsteen to join The Castiles in 1965 as lead guitarist. They were students at Freehold Regional High School at the time. “I was sitting in my South Street home ...
