Bruce Springsteen

About

Freehold, NJ. The Boss. 'Born to Run' (1975), 'Darkness on the Edge of Town,' 'The River,' 'Nebraska' (alone in a bedroom on a 4-track), 'Born in the U.S.A.' (15 million sold, willfully misread by every politician), 'The Rising' (post-9/11 grief). Three-and-a-half-hour shows, twenty Grammys, an Oscar for 'Streets of Philadelphia,' the Springsteen on Broadway residency, the most American songwriter we've got, with the E Street Band as proof. Rock and roll's most committed working stiff.
