"Writing autobiographically is an amusing endeavour...However, the writer has promised to show the reader what's on his mind in a project like this. I have attempted to achieve this on these pages. —from Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run book
2009's Super Bowl halftime show included a performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Bruce chose to write about the thrilling encounter since he found it so interesting. That was the start of this remarkable autobiography.
Bruce Springsteen has been writing his life's narrative in secret for the last seven years, bringing the same candour, humour, and inventiveness to these pages that he does in his songs.
He talks about his Catholic upbringing in Freehold, New Jersey, where he was exposed to poetry, danger, and darkness as a child. These experiences prepared him for what he calls "The Big Bang," which was seeing Elvis Presley make his television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He describes the emergence of the E Street Band, his early years as the pub band king in Asbury Park, and his unwavering desire to become a musician in vivid detail. He also shares, for the first time, the narrative of the personal challenges that shaped his finest work, with disarming candour. This helps us understand why the song "Born to Run" says more than we previously thought.
Anyone who has ever appreciated Bruce Springsteen will find Born to Run to be revelatory, but this book is much more than just the memoir of the iconic rock singer. This book is for workers and dreamers, for parents and kids, for lovers and solitary loves, for freaks and artists, or for anybody who has ever wished to be dipped into the sacred rock and roll river.
Seldom has a performer conveyed his own tale with such vigour and impact. Like a lot of his songs (such as "Thunder Road," "Badlands," "Darkness on the Edge of Town," "The River," "Born in the U.S.A.," "The Rising," and "The Ghost of Tom Joad"), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the wisdom of a man who has given his experiences a lot of thought.
