Born to Run

One does not have to be a fan of Bruce Springsteen's music to enjoy his candid, warts-and-all story of his gritty rise to fame in the world of rock. A product of central New Jersey's working class, the future Bard of Asbury Park shares with us the wide range of trials and tribulations he had to endure as a young man from a dysfunctional family background seeking to carve his own way in a pitiless environment. This book will appeal to fans of music autobiographies as well as students of the American scene during the post-war period when young people sought their own way to live and express themselves free from the repression of their parents. Informative and fun.
