Bruce Springsteen

This week, a conversation with Bruce Springsteen, originally recorded in 2016. The legendary rock star, referred to by his countless fans as “The Boss”, had just published his autobiography, Born to Run. It took Springsteen seven years to write the memoir, covering everything from his childhood and early days performing to his fear of failure and his ambivalence about success. Bruce Springsteen came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco on October 5, 2016, to talk about his life in rock and roll. Fans had traveled from around the country to attend, and the energy in the room was at a fever pitch more along the lines of a stadium concert than a literary talk. Still, the conversation with Dan Stone managed to be both intimate and deeply personal.
