Description: Bruce Springsteen is the greatest songwriter of his generation, the political conscience of his country and an inspiration to young writers, musicians and film-makers. His songs are created in solitude yet speak to millions. They grow from the obessions of a man rebelling against his family and working-class home but unable to express himself except through music. How have they come to be anthems for a nation and several generations of fans?
Notes: Includes discography (p. [255]-259), bibliographical references (p. [231]-237), and index.
