He was the only son of a dour, tone-deaf father and a music-loving Italian mother; a risk-taking loner, happiest playing all night in the New Jersey clubs; he was Bruce Springsteen, and at twenty-five was about to shoot from Asbury Park cult to cultural hero. Within a year, he'd be hyped as "rock and roll future", trot the globe and generally become a one-man groupie boom. And that was only the beginning . . .
Over the next quarter-century, Springsteen would dazzle the world with both albums and concerts alike. Along the way he showed a personality the singer himself called 'warped', divorced both his wife and his band, only to re-emerge, re-marry and re-invent himself again. Informative and entertaining, Christopher Sandford's biography is the definitive account of the man they call "The Boss".
