I really enjoyed this book. Half Springesteen biography and half analysis, it's a very insightful look at the Boss's life and work. (

Decent read but there are probably better Springsteen biographies out there. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316039179, Paperback)

This highly praised celebration of Springsteens artistry and influence is the most perceptive portrait yet of the remarkably gifted musician who, since the media anointed him the future of rock n roll in the mid-1970s, has redefined the image of the rock star and emerged an authentic American heroa man to whom millions of loyal fans look as a voice for their yearnings, hopes, fears, and dreams.
