Bruce by Peter A. Carlin, Peter A. Carlin
5.0
I didn't technically READ this book, but it was the first audiobook I've ever listened to. Only for real disciples of Bruce Springsteen, as there are a lot of details regarding his family history, his childhood, and the bands he was in before he went solo and formed the E Street Band. This is the Bruce book to end all Bruce books.
I loved that Bruce and the band actually gave interviews for the book, and I loved the honesty about it all. This is not a book that paints Bruce in the best of lights at all times. He has tantrums, gets moody, has control issues with his girlfriends, and gets pissed off at his fans. But the thing I love so much about him and his music is that he's just a real person with a passion for good music and human connections. The book also explored, in great detail, his music, both released and unreleased. The fact that Peter Carlin is a dedicated fan came through in each chapter.
Great book about a rock 'n' roll legend.
