Summary
 The revealing, wildly entertaining, and bestselling memoir from the legendary Bruce Springsteen, one of the greatest songwriters and performers of any era. Born to Run is the greatest rock ‘n’ roll story ever told.

Essential reading for the 50th anniversary of Springsteen’s seminal album Born to Run, the long-awaited release of Nebraska ’82, and a companion to the acclaimed film Deliver Me from Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, about the writing and recording of Springsteen’s classic Nebraska record.

Following his 2009 Super Bowl halftime performance, Bruce Springsteen privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life. The result is “an utterly unique, endlessly exhilarating, last-chance-power-drive of a memoir” (Rolling Stone) that offers 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.

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 USA,” “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.

“Both an entertaining account of Springsteen’s marathon race to the top and a reminder that the one thing you can’t run away from is yourself” (Entertainment Weekly), Born to Run is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This book is a “a virtuoso performance, the 508-page equivalent to one of Springsteen and the E Street Band’s famous four-hour concerts: Nothing is left onstage, and diehard fans and first-timers alike depart for home sated and yet somehow already aching for more” (NPR).

Bruce is a profound, inspiring and deeply generous and demanding person whose life is thrilling and yet so accessible. I feel very privileged to have discovered his story. He shows jow many other people helped make his life the success it has been and how essential the love and devotion of his wife Pattie is, which cannot have been an easy ride for her.

I'm writing this as a person who loves The Boss his music as i have had the pleasure of hearing him on the radio since birth, so it was always good music but i'm not the history nerd that knows each rare B-Track, in this book Bruce explains his life and highligths each album, but not on a overdose level, Time flies listening to his story and it leaves room enough for you to seek out the period you're in search for musically, so it does not put one infront of the other.

There is probably gonna be a second book cause in this one he explains he would never get rid of HIS OWN Songs, sold now ahum and he really doesn't talk why he made 'target' only deals leaving the rest of the world not getting that music, Fame eh! :)

Exactly what you expect.
