Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Fourth in the "Rolling Stone Files" series (the others covered U2, Neil Young, and REM), this book presents the life and career of Bruce Springsteen through a chronological arrangement of the many articles about him that have appeared in Rolling Stone magazine. It begins in 1973 with a brief blurb on him in the "Random Notes" (read "gossip") column and ends with a review of his latest album at the end of 1995. This is a compendium of facts, articles, gossip, interviews, and reviews that puts Springsteen's life and incredible career in perspective. It's an interesting approach to biography as it is also autobiography, with Springsteen talking about himself in interviews. The gossipy "Random Notes" columns give a glimpse into his private life, especially during the break-up of his marriage to Julianne Phillips and his remarriage to his guitarist, Patti Scialpa. The reviews serve as a medium for charting the rise of his career. Putting all of these articles in one place, spanning over 20 years, shows the power and excitement Springsteen brought to the music world. A nice addition and update to the books already published about Springsteen.?Rosellen Brewer, Monterey Bay Area Cooperative Lib. System, Cal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Compendium of Reiews over the Years from RS, March 26, 1999
By A Customer
I got this book for Christmas and I was very hopeful that it would tell me 'The Bruce Story" since I didn't really know it. Well, it did and it didn't. Not knowing much about Springsteen's life or career and knowing only the music, reading this book, which consists of chronological news items, interviews and articles that appeared in ROLLING STONE, I got an interesting overview of his career and the way the public's perception of him has changed. The book is almost as interesting for the things it doesn't say, for instance, it says virtually nothing about the biggest event of Springsteen's career: his bitter two year battle to end his contract with Producer Mike Appel. (that is actually covered better in an out of print book you can try and order here called DOWN THUNDER ROAD) Also, his much publicized extra-marital affair with his band-member and current wife rates about 4 lines. Also, one article starts off telling us in a painfully beautiful reminisence about his early years and drops off just when things were getting interesting, way before he got signed. Overall, this book actually shows what a poor job ROLLING STONE has done over the years on all matters BRUCE. It's a good read - a must-have for completists but NOT where to begin if you have just gotten bit.
