BORN: September 23, 1949, Freehold, NJ

"The Boss" hit the music industry with the release of his
first album Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., in 1973. The
Wild, the Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle quickly
followed this release. The albums received critical claim
with comparisons to Bob Dylan, but did not sell well with
the fans. Bruce Springsteen's career had begun.

Springsteen was born in Freehold, New Jersey, on September
23, 1949. He grew up in a "normal middle class family" and
first started playing around with the guitar in High
School. After graduating from High School he moved to New
York to try and break into the Folk Music scene. After
getting nowhere on this front he returned to, be it
reluctantly, to Asbury Park, N.J. and hooked up with a
numbe More...

    Review about Bruce Springsteen

    Addendum to PJ's review | Reviewer: Dr Whale
        ------ About the song Devils & Dust performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Dear PJ

    Could you really not glean the basic meaning of this song? Dumb American kids in the deserts of Iraq, who can no longer see your god, and now have itchy trigger fingers for the "devils and dust" they have been taught to be fearful of.

    It's a perfect parenthesis to 'Born in the USA'. A lot of these dumb kids are going to appreciate the verses of that song in ten years time, even if they were lost on you my friend...

    Have mercy on us all.

        ------ About the song Devils & Dust performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Dear PJ. Do you really not know what this song is about? Dumb American kids in the deserts of Iraq, who can no longer see their god, and now have itchy trigger fingers for the devils and dust they have been taught to be fearful of. It's the perfect parenthesis to 'Born in the USA'. A lot of these dumb kids are going to appreciate the verses of that song in ten years time, even if they were lost on you...


    Better Version | Reviewer: Christopher
        ------ About the song Blinded By The Light performed by Bruce Springsteen

    I think Springsteen's version of Blinded By the Light is the best. This might be the first version that I heard, but I think it's better for other reasons. I like Springsteen's version because he wrote it about his experiences and people that he came across in Asbury Park. Listening to the song I get the feeling of where the song is coming from and I like the feel to it. I could almost picture myself there listening to Springsteen and the band. I also like how Springsteen says "cut loose like a deuce," in the song, rather than "revved up like a deuce," in the Manfred Mann version. Don't get me wrong, Manfred Mann's version is good. It is different and the most popular. But I prefer Bruce Springsteen's.


    last line | Reviewer: J. Davis
        ------ About the song Something In The Night performed by Bruce Springsteen

    the last line is left out here. It is "Chasing something in the night."

    One of Bruce's best, I think, and one of his darkest. Unlike a lot of his works from the 70s, this isn't really so much about a character or a plot or a location, it is about a feeling of impending dred and paranoia. Some of his best lyrics, I think.


    Live In Dublin: Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band | Reviewer: Marg
        ------ About the album Live In Dublin: Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band performed by Bruce Springsteen

    The first I watched the dvd of this album was on holidays in Cairns Qld. and I was so moved to buy the double CD in which was also a copy of the DVD. Now I want to tell everyone about how fantastic it is.....

    To fully appreciate each track, they must be listened to at volume. On the DVD, you can actually see everyone onstage, literally a cast of thousands, really enjoying what they're doing and having a high old time of it in Dublin. The first time I listened to the CD in my car, it was almost enough to reduce me to tears, no good thing on the Pacific Highway at speed!

    It's one of those albums that you listen to again and again and again and never fail to be enlivened. Each song is a real toe-tapper as well as a tour-de-force of musicality. Try it.... you'll like it! I guarantee it, especially if you enjoy ragtime jazz and that big-band sound with plenty of horns. Even if you're not a Springsteen fan, as I wasn't particularly, you will come to love The Boss by the time you've heard the entire concert. Every note perfect, his wife Patti Scialfa is a creditable addition and a great foil to Springsteen himself, as are The Sessionettes. This is like no other Springsteen work, discernably Irish folk-sounding, it's a brilliant collection. I hope you enjoy "Live in Dublin: Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band" as much as I have!


    You feel the words. | Reviewer: Mateusz
        ------ About the song I'm Goin' Down performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Although not the young one (does the age count?), you feel exactly what the singing guy feels. You close your eyes, you see this beautiful woman, her seductive look. You just feel this fire. And then...loss of hope, "what did i do wrong?", "why do you behave like this?". That's what life is about.
    Bruce - still on the top.


    Shame........ | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Cautious Man performed by Bruce Springsteen

    I can't believe that there isn't one single review for this hidden gem. It is truely one of the Boss's most intimate songs that tells a short story that leaves room for debate about its meaning. Do what ever you have to do to find this song and listen to it at least once. If you don't, you've been cheated by yourself.


    I love this song! | Reviewer: Amy
        ------ About the song Erie Canal performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Ever since I heard this song in my US History class I realized that this is a great song. This is a great song to listen to if you are learning about the Erie Canal in school or you are teaching your students about the Erie Canal. Students-Listen to this song if you are learning about the Erie Canal in school and teachers-If you are teaching your students about the Erie Canal thin have them listen to this song. It is pure Springsteen genus!


    Lawl Iraq | Reviewer: PJ
        ------ About the song Devil's Arcade performed by Bruce Springsteen

    The war that is the beating underlying tone to the boss' words is really in your mind, and the battlefield we fight in our hearts with something darker that steals our souls away one sin at a time. Call it what you will, bruce calls the battlefield the devil's arcade. After the instrumental intermission this man takes us on a journey out of the depths into a sky of fire. Given the mass media, music, and the arts of this day and age there is so much to get lost in. Just as he spoke of in "devils and dust" he speaks of the honest people making a rightous stand, now he tells you how and why, making in my oppinion this the best written song documenting our internal struggles along the journey home.


    don't know who to trust | Reviewer: PJ
        ------ About the song Devils & Dust performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Starting with such nervousness, tenacity, and distrust... this song flows from the torments of believing and seeing the decay all around you, and to him, the decay of society is nowhere near as disturbing as the decay within the hearts of man, the belief of man, and the hopes of heaven. The dreams in the middle verse, it is interesting how he mixes mud and stone with blood and bone, intonating we are the earth, a common belief, but eloquently done. He then speaks of the addictions that have gripped us, and our "rightous stand" where we come come together to rise up and take back what is ours, to stand up and demand this be fixed, justice be levied, and the future for those who will come next be ensured.


    Fenway | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Rosalita performed by Bruce Springsteen

    seeing bruce do rosalita two nights in a row really made up for lost time for me anyway. seen bruce several and until the fenway nights had never seen him do it. iguess he put the tuneto bed for years on account of well, its a fucking hard song to play for starters and he was sick of constant requests for it. but yes live its otherworldly.

    Just Great and moving | Reviewer: jULIUS
        ------ About the song Mrs. McGrath performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Maybe songs like this one some day help us to create another, better world without pain, blood and melancholy.


    Metaphores for Freedom | Reviewer: Susan Giese
        ------ About the song Magic performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Bruce Springsteen' s CD MAGIC is a strong
    and true WAKE-UP call for us all: Want to
    live? Get the message. Want to die? Stay
    in the dark. At 74 years old, I cannot thank
    Mr. Springsteen and the E Street Band and
    all involved, enough for their courageous style
    in this CD. Over the ages, many poets, writers
    and bards have been tortured, imprisoned
    and murdered for using lessor metaphores
    in their works than he has used in "Magic".
    Mr. Springsteen has thrown caution, and
    perhaps his life and career, to the winds.
    Let's not kid ourselves, he did it for his own
    AND for us. "These are dark times." TODAY
    is the day! Another generation must WAKE\
    UP and YELL; I hear you, Let's rock, 'n ROLL


    ...And now for my mother, the greatest love song I ever wrote! | Reviewer: Perry
        ------ About the song Rosalita performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Rosalita! Great song from Springsteen's pre-Born To Run years. So honest and simple - that hand clap bit gets me everytime! The live version BLOWS THE STUDIO VERSION AWAY. Clemons sax rocks too!


    Boogie Woogie Bruce | Reviewer: Jimbo
        ------ About the song Open All Night performed by Bruce Springsteen

    This is my absolute favorite from the Live in Dublin album. Maybe it just captures the essence of big band boogie woogie from the 40's and the north Jersey lifestyle in the 50's. Smokin'


    Rosalita! | Reviewer: Jedd
        ------ About the song Rosalita performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Driving into work it played on Sirius Satellite radio...crystal clear...I think it's one of Bruce's best songs.


    AWESOME SONG | Reviewer: john ash
        ------ About the song Ramrod performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Best Springsteen song.
    Play this when crusing at 90+


    Gobsmacked | Reviewer: andy boyle
        ------ About the album Devils & Dust performed by Bruce Springsteen

    This collection of songs will make you work for it's rewards, but I can promise you, if you have the maturity to listen to 'Reno' without being distracted by the deliberate crudity of the lyric, or the heart that will let you listen to 'The Hitter' and to be moved by it, you will really, REALLY love this album. I used to think Dylan was the greatest lyricist ever. Springsteen creates an intimacy and an open honesty that can break your heart. Not a duff song on the album. I personally enjoyed it better than Darkness On The Edge Of Town.


    Empty Road | Reviewer: Simon Oldfield
        ------ About the song Racing In The Street performed by Bruce Springsteen

    OK - any smart arse can criticise and I couldn't have written this superb song in a million years. But here are my thoughts:
    Springsteen is to be congratulated for writing one of the few rock lyrics about cars that's at least well informed. It's the right rig, with the right mods - it's a shame he doesn't develop an authentic story line to go with that tuned Chevvy 396.

    There is the familiar Springsteen melancholy of life in dead-end, rust belt America with the superbly crafted "Some guys they just give up living and start dying little by little, piece by piece..." We can just see him washing the grime off his hands from the autoplant and stepping into his alter ego as a street racer. It whets our appetite for more - but runs quite quickly out of road.

    Before it does and the burble of that 396 dies away, there is just a chance of redemption. Another familiar Spingsteenism - the empty hopelessness of a life without meaning - comes tantalisingly into being. We can feel this "little girl's" hopelessness (OK Bruce, we forgive your chauvinism because of who you are, but come on !). I know he's not writing a novel, and songs must evoke rather than explore, but what's all this about ? We see a powerful image of her "on the porch of her daddy's house" but why does she cry herself to sleep at night ? Is Bruce too lazy to give us a hint ?

    Perhaps I'm missing the whole point - that there IS no point to this street racing escapism, that while our hero "shuts em up and then shuts em down" the real world along with his closest relationships are disintegrating around him, powerless to respond.

    The vacuity of modern urban life, the hopelessness of it all are superbly achieved with both the lyric and the haunting melancholy of the score and vocals. There is something about the juxtaposition of the feelgood idea of racing in the street and the downbeat vocal that reminds me of Under the Boardwalk, the iconic song from a completely different era. So Bruce has by no means got it wrong here.....it's a powerful track. And after all, he's not writing philosophy - it's rock and roll !




    Agreed too | Reviewer: Juki
        ------ About the song Livin' in the Future performed by Bruce Springsteen

    Bruce was obviously dissappointed about the result of the election. Lyrics are very much like the imaginary of Book of Revelations. Go see the live videoclip of this song in www.brucespringsteen.net ...

    "I opened up my heart to you
    It got all damaged and undone"

    Is this line about the 'Vote for Change' -tour?
