(15) Really not the type of book I typically read, but it was an unsolicited lend and happen to be a big fan - so I read. Not only did I read but I began to listen again to the early Bruce albums that were the soundtrack to a secret life I led with a close friend of mine. We pored over the lyrics, memorizing the songs, entranced by the romance and atmosphere of his early work. It turns out I know every word of many of the songs on his old 'albums.' So the book was enhanced by the nostalgia I felt listening to these songs. I am not sure I realized he wrote all of them and that he was entirely self-taught and unschooled.

The early part of the book was excellent. I enjoyed reading about his family and his early attempts to make a living with a band. How he lived off the grid in a sleeping bag in a surfboard factory. It just made songs like 'Sandy, 4th of July' all that more magical for me knowing these things. I am similar Italian Catholic product of a working class background and I think I feel some strange kinship to him. But as the book went on it was shorter on contextual detail and a bit longer on soapbox. Once he became famous, it was hard to really empathize. In the latter parts I enjoyed reading about his relationship with Clarence Clemmons and his wife, but most of the second half of the book post 'Born to Run' fell flat for me.

Bruce is definitely a poet and a writer and deeper than what I imagine must be your average rock star these days. I got so much from his earliest music when I was a teenager and still stand in awe of some of his most devastating haunting songs. I am glad I read, yet I don't plan to pick up any more rock star biographies anytime soon. There is something about 'Jungleland' and Clemmons sax solo that will affect me deeply every time I hear it. Thank-you, Bruce.

I admit it is hard for me to be entirely objective about this book, given that I am a 40 -year fan of Mr. Springsteen. Many of his fans who have been following for a long time, know bits and pieces of his life through the stories he is told over the years at his epic concerts, in addition to witnessing his rise to fame and his enduring musical legacy. Mr. Springsteen is and always has been an excellent storyteller, in the songs he has written and in his monologues accompanying the music and in interviews with media. That storytelling capability carried over very well to this autobiography. I savored every word of this book, from his observations about family and love and life and fatherhood, in general, to the insights into the music business, the specific events that shaped his rise to stardom and the enduring professionalism of the E Street Band, his discussion of his own sometimes debilitating depression and the mental illness that plagued his father and other members of his family. Even though I read this slowly, digesting chapters or partial chapters before moving on, I so enjoyed the writing itself, the beautiful prose and imagery, that I plan to re-read this lovely book again very shortly.… (más)

The central question of Springsteen's Born to Run is: How the hell do you get from Freehold, N.J., to superstardom (including hosting a podcast with a former president) in only 50 ish short years? The Boss’s autobiography, “Born to Run,” answers this paradox nicely. Many of the stories that Springsteen tells diehards will know about it but what makes this book special is how Springsteen pulls back the curtain to reveal how his own family life - including his upbringing - and search for love and acceptance as an adult has shaped his blue-collar songwriting. The most poignant parts of the autobiography come towards the end, when Springsteen discusses connecting with his mentally ill father as he nears his death bed, muses on his friendship with Clarence Clemons, and discloses his own struggles with depression. This is a surprisingly vulnerable autobiography ("Chronicles Vol.1" by Dylan this isn't). We often think of rock stars as being larger than life, but in many ways, Springsteen has always tried to remain true to his roots. What this autobiography reveals is the heart of the rock star. The Boss is just a man, with his own demons and struggles, searching for living proof and a bit Lord's undying light, just like the rest of us. And perhaps that is why his music connects with his fans.… (más)
