Synopsis

Offering fans an extensive look at the artist’s own words throughout the past four decades, Springsteen on Springsteen brings together Q&A–formatted articles, speeches, and features that incorporate significant interview material. No one is better qualified to talk about Springsteen than the man himself, and he’s often as articulate and provocative in interviews and speeches as he is emotive onstage and in recordings. While many rock artists seem to suffer through interviews, Springsteen has welcomed them as an opportunity to speak openly, thoughtfully, and in great detail about his music and life. This volume starts with his humble beginnings in 1973 as a struggling artist and follows him up to the present, as Springsteen has achieved almost unimaginable wealth and worldwide fame. Included are feature interviews with well-known media figures, including Charlie Rose, Ted Koppel, Brian Williams, Nick Hornby, and Ed Norton. Fans will also discover hidden gems from small and international outlets, in addition to radio and TV interviews that have not previously appeared in print. This collection is a must-have for any Springsteen fan.

About this title

From the Back Cover

"A remarkable journey across the arc of a singular career--sometimes harrowing, ultimately heroic, revealing a tremendous strength of character as the Boss stayed true to his ideals, even in the face of what he calls 'catastrophic success.' A great read about a genuine American hero. If you're huntry to learn about the true soul of this remarkable man, look no further: it's all here."--Paul Zollo, author of Songwriters on Songwriting "Bruce Springsteen has been interviewed around the world on radio and television and by newspapers, fanzines, and general-interest and music magazines. Many of his most engrossing conversations are housed in this book. Fans should welcome this valuable collection. I know I do."--Harvey Kubernik, author of Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and Music of Laurel Canyon  "A great collection. The only other way to experience this much of Springsteen's 'voice' is to see him in concert."--Patrick Harbron, longtime Springsteen photographer "Springsteen on Springsteen is a fine and necessary addition to the literature on this incredible artist, performer, and man."--singer-songwriter Elliott Murphy, from his foreword
