pickMy husband is the Springsteen fan in the family, but he surprised me with this book and I ended up really enjoying it. It isn't just an account of how Bruce Springsteen came to record the legendary rock album Born in the USA; the author explores imaginary albums that never came to be, what it means to be a heartland rock band, and how Springsteen's evolution reveals the cracks in the heart of America itself.

It‘s the Jersey in me. I can‘t help raising a fist and yelling, “Bruuuuuuuce!” at this.
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.

The tagged book was one of the best memoirs I've ever listened to.
Just returned a book to the Library, and saw this on the “Free Books” cart! Couldn‘t resist! 🙂
pick“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
Listening to Bruce share the inspiration behind his songs and then hearing the songs is really adding to my audio experience. I never appreciated this song before, but now I can‘t stop playing it♥️🎸🎧
