A review by duparker
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

4.0

I am not sure what I expected, other than to enjoy the book. I have read quite a few books about Springsteen, so I know much of the preceived story. Bruce comes off as Bruce, a normal guy with normal worries (maybe a bit exaggerated, but still not extraordinary). The tone is bland and a bit negative. He'd tell me that it is not positive or negative, it just is. The dealings with the E Street Band are interesting, and in someways make me wonder what the remuneration (as he calls it) is for playing with him, because ht recounts almost as much as he discusses his dad's miseries, how they work for him, and that there is no group, there is Bruce with a backup band.

Best part was the story of playing Tumbling Dice with the Stones in a NY studio. Very cool and fun to see him star struck.
