pilgrimage, stopping by many of the places along his historic rise to legend status.More than 25 years after moving away from New Jersey, The Boss is still a cultural touchstone for me, even though my accent changed a long time ago Yet my perceptions of Bruce have always been the ones culture presented us the outspoken political crusader, the fierce protector of his home state, the self appointed

but I do have experience with reading about someone I m basically unfamiliar with and finding the experience very engaging Knowing only little about someone would actually be a really good reason to

galley I know I m biased married to the writer and all but it s terrific I feel like I know Bruce, inside and out Bruce is an interesting book to review, because even though I have a bunch of complaints, it s still a wonderful book, worthy of five stars.Let s start with my complaints First, this is a long book for a rock and roll biography As I joked to my wife I now feel like I knowabout

consecration the revelatory details of sexual conquests, pharmacological overindulgences, and distended egos in an art awash with tragic figures and truncated careers, perhaps the story of a musician

with me, I m prone to typos and improper language I was an accounting major, which may explain things I don t even know if there s a proper way to review books.My first read of the year was Bruce by

him in the U.K for The River tour in 1980, then for his Born in the U.S.A tour in 85 , again for the Tunnel of Love tour in 88 I saw him as recently as 2009 at the Glastonbury Festival.I still rate Bruce s first seven albums as must haves Over the last twenty years I ve kept abreast of news and album releases, which is not difficult with such a high profile musical artist.Peter Ames Carlin
