Bruce Springsteen

Las memorias de Bruce Springsteen. Escribir sobre uno mismo es algo muy curioso. [...]. Pero en un proyecto como este el escritor hace una promesa: mostrarle su mente al lector. Y eso es lo que he intentado hacer en estas paginas.Bruce Springsteen, extracto de Born to Run En 2009, Bruce Springsteen y la E Street Band actuaron durante el intermedio de la Super Bowl. La experiencia fue tan maravillosa que Bruce se propuso escribir sobre ello. Asi comenzo esta extraordinaria autobiografia. Durante los ultimos siete años, Bruce Springsteen se ha dedicado a escribir en privado la historia de su vida, dotando a estas paginas de la misma honestidad, humor y originalidad que encontramos en sus canciones. Describe sus primeros años como chaval catolico en Freehold, Nueva Jersey, en un ambiente donde la poesia, el peligro y la oscuridad alimentaban su imaginacion, hasta que llega el momento que el denomina el Big Bang: cuando vio en television el debut de Elvis Presley en The Ed Sullivan Show. Nos cuenta vividamente su incansable voluntad de convertirse en musico, sus primeros tiempos como rey de las bandas de bar en Asbury Park, y el ascenso de la E Street Band. Con un candor desarmante, cuenta tambien por vez primera las angustias personales que inspiraron sus mejores obras, y explica porque la cancion Born to Run revela mucho mas de lo que pensabamos. Born to Run sera una revelacion para cualquiera que en algun momento haya disfrutado de Bruce Springsteen, pero estas paginas son mucho mas que las memorias de una legendaria estrella de rock. Es un libro para trabajadores y soñadores, padres e hijos, amantes y solitarios, artistas, friquis, o para cualquiera que alguna vez haya anhelado ser bautizado en el sagrado rio del rock'n'roll. Rara vez un interprete ha contado su propia historia con tanta amplitud y fuerza. Como muchas de sus canciones (Thunder Road, Badlands, Darkness on the Edge of Town, TheRiver, Born in the USA, The Rising o The Ghost of Tom Joad, por citar solo algunas), la autobiografia de Bruce Springsteen ha sido escrita con el lirismo de un autor de canciones unico y con la sabiduria de un hombre que ha reflexionado hondamente sobre sus experiencias.

For the first time ever comes the inside story of Clarence "Big Man" Clemons--his life before, during and beyond the E-Street Band, including unbelievable, never-before-told adventures with Bruce Springsteen, the band, and an incredible cast of other famous characters recounted by himself and his best friend, television writer/ producer Don Reo. Here are just a few things you'll get from reading it: * The truth behind the final hours of making Born To Run * The real story of how the E-Street Band got its name * What happened when Clarence and Ringo Starr were sitting in a hotel room and Clarence got the call that Bruce was breaking up the band * How Bruce and Clarence met that dark, stormy night at the Student Prince * The E-Street band's show at Sing-Sing prison where all of their equipment blows out right as they take the stage * The secret that Robert De Niro told Clarence and Bruce they had to keep for 25 years But that's merely a glimpse. This is not your average rock book. It is something creative, something unique, something new. It is the story of E-Street. It is the story of stories. It is the story of the Big Man.

The first ever book by Bruce Springsteen, one of the biggest artists of this generation - published as a picture book for adults. When Bruce was a little boy, he learned the story of Brave Cowboy Bill,about a pure-hearted little cowboy. It was the first of Bruces Western loves, which now range from John Ford films to Mexican music to Native American art. Each of these inspirations, plus what he 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 nappies and confronts the roughest edges of adulthood. It is one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has ever written - rhapsodic and harsh, a meditation on destiny, filled with absurdities but not for one second of its eight minutes exactly a joke.The book is beautifully illustrated by Frank Caruso. His approach, immaculately detailed, simple when it needs to be, parallels Springsteens blend of absurdity and meditation. Reading and listening have rarely so superbly complemented each other. The result becomes the most intense kind of artistic collaboration, a vision shared.

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 Bruces Western loves, which now range from John Ford movies to Mexican music to Native American art. Each of these inspirations, plus what hes 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. Its one of the most ambitious and original story songs Springsteen has writtenrhapsodic and harsh, a meditation on destiny, filled with absurdities but not for one second of its eight minutes exactly a joke. Its 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 Springsteens blend of absurdity and meditation. The questions about destiny remain unanswered, as they must be, but theyre 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 Im not trying to start anything, so buy it, dont steal it, OK? Dave Marsh

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 Run In 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, humour and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger and darkness that fuelled 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 candour, 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.

Born to Run is the greatest rock n roll story ever told.Essential reading for 2025s 50th anniversary of Springsteens seminal album Born to Run and coinciding with the highly anticipated film Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, about the writing and recording of Springsteens classic Nebraska record.Following his 2009 Super Bowl halftime performance, Bruce Springsteen privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life.
