Bruce Springsteen

“Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.” —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to RunIn 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized. Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“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,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

Revised to include an original autobiographical introduction by Bruce Springsteen and a new chapter featuring all of the lyrics to his most recent Grammy Award-winning release, The Rising , as well as 32 pages, of never-before-seen photographs. This is the complete collection of Bruce Springsteen's recorded lyrics, illustrated with hundreds of never-before-published images from some of rock & roll journalism's greatest photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, David Gahr, Lynn Goldsmith, Bruce Weber, and many others. From Jim Marchese's informal backstage shots during the European leg of the 1980 The River tour to Neal Preston's amazing documentation of the Born in the U.S.A. days to Pam Springsteen's portraits showing a side of the musician rarely seen by the public, this is the most intimate look at Bruce Springsteen ever published. The photos and lyrics are accompanied by original commentary by Springsteen, in which he reflects on the songs, the performances, and the quarter-century career that for many defines the American dream.

Outlaw Pete is a modern legend of a criminal who starts out in diapers and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood. It’s one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has written.When Bruce Springsteen was a little boy, he learned the story of Brave Cowboy Bill, about a pure-hearted little cowboy. It was the first of Bruce’s Western loves, which now range from John Ford movies to Mexican music to Native American art. Each of these inspirations, plus what he’s learned as a man and a rock ’n’ roller about how to combine whimsy and wisdom, were stations on the way to Outlaw Pete , a modern legend of a criminal who starts out in diapers and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood. It’s one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has written—rhapsodic and harsh, a meditation on destiny, filled with absurdities but not for one second of its eight minutes exactly a joke. It’s an elaborate musical drama, weaving into a single tapestry several styles of rock and an orchestration reminiscent of a Morricone soundtrack.Outlaw Pete is an adult book, illustrated by Frank Caruso, who drew and painted its pages. Caruso does more than illustrate the song. His approach, immaculately detailed, simple when it needs to be, parallels Springsteen’s blend of absurdity and meditation. The questions about destiny remain unanswered, as they must be, but they’re also brought into a different kind of focus. Details that pass by almost unnoticed in the lyrics become central.Reading and listening have rarely so superbly complemented each other. The result becomes the most intense kind of artistic collaboration, a vision shared.But I’m not trying to start anything, so buy it, don’t steal it, OK? —Dave Marsh

Bruce Springsteen continua a incantare intere generazioni di fan non solo con la sua musica, ma anche con le sue parole. Come nel caso del keynote speech dell'edizione 2012 del «South by SouthWest» che si è tenuto a Austin qualche settimana fa.Davanti al pubblico che stipava l’Austin Convention Center, Il Boss ha tenuto banco per più di 50 minuti, con un discorso sulla vita, sul rock, sulle influenze che la musica di alcuni musicisti e alcune band ha avuto sulla sua, di musica. Tanti gli artisti citati, da Woody Guthrie a Elvis Presley, dagli Animals a James Brown. E tanta la musica suonata, accompagnato dalla sua fedele chitarra.

»I'm the president, he's the boss«, stellte Barack Obama seinen Freund Bruce Springsteen 2009 in Anspielung auf dessen Spitznamen bei einer öffentlichen Ehrung vor. Tatsächlich hat der Rockmusiker mit so populären Platten wie Born in the USA, das zu einem der meistverkauften Alben der Rockgeschichte gehört, für viele US­-Amerikaner eine höhere Autorität als die meisten Politiker. Springsteen, der in einfachsten Verhältnissen in New Jersey aufgewachsen ist, erzählt in seinen Songs die Geschichten der Arbeiter und Benachteiligten, und das auf eine Weise, dass seine Musik identitätsstiftend geworden sind. Wie auf der Bühne, wo er zu den meisten seiner Stücke eine Anekdote zum Besten gibt, gelingt es Springsteen auch in Interviews, seine Gesprächspartner mit Erinnerungen und Reflexionen zu fesseln. Etwa wenn er von seinen legendären Tourneen und Shows erzählt, dem epochalen Konzert 1988 in Ostberlin zum Beispiel, von der zyklischen Zusammenarbeit mit seiner E Street Band und von seinen großen musikalischen Bob Dylan und den Rolling Stones. Mit großer Offenheit berichtet Springsteen aber auch über Persö seine langjährigen Depressionen, das schwierige Verhältnis zu seinem cholerischen Vater und die Frauen in seinem Leben.

Me alegro de, al fin, poder compartir esta música; aquí están algunas de las que se escaparon.” (Bruce Springsteen, septiembre, 1998)

Selten zuvor hat ein Bühnenkünstler seine eigene Geschichte mit solch einer Kraft und solch einem lodernden Feuer niedergeschrieben. Wie viele seiner Songs ("Thunder Road", "Badlands", "Darkness on the Edge of Town", "The River", "Born in the U.S.A.", "The Rising" oder "The Ghost of Tom Joad", um ein paar wenige zu erwähnen) ist Bruce Springsteens Autobiografie geprägt von der Lyrik eines einzigartigen Songwriters und der Weisheit eines Mannes, der ausgiebig über sein Leben nachgedacht hat.
