Born to Run
Born to Run | Bruce Springsteen
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowls halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. Thats 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, 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 Presleys 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, 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 stars 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 Springsteens autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.

Susanita @Deblovestoread @lil1inblue I think Tapestry was one of my first albums that wasn‘t children‘s music. One of my siblings had an extra copy and gave it to me. (edited) 6mo
Susanita @BarbaraBB I didn‘t especially like him at first, but my sister was a big fan. Once I went to one of his concerts I understood. 6mo
BarbaraBB I read somewhere that is you aren‘t a fan, you haven‘t seen him live yet! So maybe that‘s true and I should go to a concert too! 6mo

This might be sacrilegious but this is 18 hours long. Isn‘t there something that could have been left out? I‘ve spent days listening - on commutes, cleaning Airbnb‘s, etc. - and I‘m only 6 hours in.

Graywacke I loved it ☺️ But since I used a library copy and couldn‘t get all 18 hrs in before my loan was up, i ended up buying a hardcopy and reading the last sections. 2y

Suet624 @BarbaraBB haha. I used to be a big fan in the 70‘s and 80‘s. I‘ve passed on reading this book but it was sitting there on the library audio shelf (Libby) so I went ahead with it. I‘ll try it for a while longer. 2y

“My music would always be my identity.”

So much humility, humanity and heart. From his humble beginnings, Springsteen never forgot what it took to achieve fame. He shares his faults and achievements and lays bare the long road to his ultimate success. It‘s easy to find this message in every story , note, melody and song.
This was a re-read for me but I found it much more engaging 2nd time around🎧🙌🏻♥️🎵 #NonFictionNovember

Graywacke I really enjoyed this too, although I‘ve only listened once. It‘s nice bonus that he reads it himself. 3y

Cinfhen He really comes across as genuine @Graywacke @Megabooks @AmyG and while I found the book long-winded the first time I listened, on this re-listen I was really moved and inspired. I did spend time listening to each song he referenced in the book, which totally added to my enjoyment. So happy I was compelled to listen again. 3y
Graywacke @Cinfhen great idea to add the songs in while listening to the book. I wasn‘t that organized. (Although he plays a lot when my phone plays random, so there was some overlap.) 3y

3-9 May 2021 (audiobook)
A long, but mostly enjoyable, memoir from someone who is obviously a great musician. I would query whether he is quite as great or as groundbreaking as he proclaims, but am willing to accept many would agree with him. What hit me was his description of his battles with depression in his 60s - a time when it seems to hit many men. Mental health issues are truly frightening and can affect anyone.

1. I listen to almost anything. I love iheart radio. My favorite stations are KUSC, KKJZ, KUTX, & KEXP. The Beatles are my favorite, but I love playing music mentioned in the books I'm reading.
2. I'm realizing that my vacations haven't been that great. Road trips have always been fun, but I don't have a favorite.
3. Being 8 was pretty great.
4. Hearing laughter, but it has to be genuine.

This one is an autobiography about his life growing up, the difficult relationship with his father, his early years musically, his self doubts and ongoing battle with depression, marriage, being a parent, his creativity, his fame and endurance.

It's beautifully written, it's funny, it's sad, it's informative and also filled with wisdom.

Long live The Boss! ❤

Got a favourite song of his?

(Now to get back to Slaughterhouse 🔖)

RamsFan1963 Hmmm...probably Brilliant Disguise or Born To Run. Anything but Born in the USA, I've heard that song until it makes my ears ring. 4y

Susanita Jungleland is my favorite. I saw him a few years ago, and that was one of the last songs in the show. Clarence's nephew played saxophone. I was bawling! 4y

Given his songs, I shouldn‘t be surprised that Bruce Springsteen, one of the biggest rock stars in the world, comes across as a normal, thoughtful, down to earth, relatable guy in this book. I would love to sit out on the patio with him, shooting the breeze, watching the sunset. I‘m glad he‘s retained humility in the face of his tremendous success.

I finished this book tonight. I have been a Springsteen fan as long as I can remember, but I have a whole new appreciation for him now. He seems very well read by his references and jokes made. I feel like he was refreshingly candid (particularly about his mental health struggles) while simultaneously being respectful and discreet to those in his past. This is not a tell all by any means. If you love his work, you‘ll probably love this book.

It‘s been about impossible to put this book down since I started it. Anyone who has had a tumultuous relationship with a parent to find out later that mental illness was a contributing factor will find kinship with Mr Springsteen. The first couple of sentences of this paragraph resonate greatly with me.

Susanita The story he tells about his father in front of “The River” on his live album had me 😭 6y

The Boss came to Nationals Park a couple years ago, and my boss couldn‘t use his ticket. The seat location was scary! I stayed there for a while, but at some point (to paraphrase a previous prompt) I went down for a pee and I never went back. The rest of the concert I danced on the concourse and talked to a woman I‘d met earlier.

They didn‘t end with #Borntorun but with Jungleland. Clarence‘s nephew played saxophone. I cried.

This book is everything an autobiography should be. It's a record of a life but Springsteen manages to walk this amazing line where he's being totally open without being too revealing, informative without betraying confidences. He's vulnerable, insightful, and reflective where his story most needs it. The writing is stunning both at the sentence level and in terms of its epic scope. I love this book.

Cinfhen Great review...I did this as an audio and Springsteen reading his book was sooooo sexy 7y

One of my favorite memoirs ever...and I‘m not really a big fan of his music. I loved hearing his stories of growing up, starting bands, and becoming a rock star. His personal stories about his family and dealing with depression made this book amazing though. He‘s realistic about his talents and faults. #audiobook #nonfiction #pop18 #songlyrics
