Prove It All Night!: The Bruce Springsteen Trivia Book

So You Think You're a Big Bruce Fan, Eh?

You've worn out all of his albums twice, you've seen him in concert twelve times, and you've even made a pilgrimage to the Stone Pony - so you think you know just about everything about the Boss, huh?

Well, then, answer this:

How many gas stations does Bruce sing about?
Where are 10th Avenue and E Street?
What singer did Bruce write "Fire" for?
What kind of jukebox does Garry Tallent own?

And those are just a few of the hundreds of terrific trivia questions about Bruce Springsteen - his songs, his albums, his band, and his life. Plus dozens of great photos!

If you've been a Bruce fan since the days of The Castiles, or if you became a fan after the smash album Born in the U.S.A., you'll find lots in this book that will entertain and inform.

So call your friends oyer, crank up the Live album, and Prove It All Night!

A TV-production staffer at ABC News Closeup and The Cosby Show, the author describes herself as "a Springsteen fan for nearly 12 years" and thanks 58 people, including "roommates past and present," for their help on this trivia quiz book. The arcana include "How did Bruce know who John Hammond was?" and "What is the only song title with a hyphen?" Formats range from puzzles and match-up quizzes to fill-in-the-blanks and various Q & A categories. The book is illustrated with two-dozen photos (not seen by PW, but, unfortunately, Mayer's enthusiastic effort hardly compares with the exhaustive wealth of data compiled by Patrick Humphries and Chris Hunt for Bruce Springsteen: Blinded by the Light, an encyclopedic tome published last year that makes these 96 pages seem superfluous.
