Down Thunder Road

The Making of Bruce Springsteen

Edición de la obra Down Thunder Road

Down Thunder Road is the book Bruce Springsteen hoped would never be written--the no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes story of Springsteen and his rise to superstardom, written with the participation of Mike Appel, the man who discovered the Boss, managed his career, produced his first record, and then was fired, resulting in the controversial lawsuit that kept Springsteen out of the recording studio for a year. Based on never-before-released court depositions and other. Documents as well as exclusive interviews, Down Thunder Road lifts the veil of secrecy that has surrounded the Boss for more than a decade, revealing for the first time the true and complete story of his early years. Marc Eliot follows Bruce from his young days playing in blue-collar dives along the Jersey shore to his "overnight success" with Born to Run, to the superstardom achieved with Born in the U.S.A., and the years beyond. Along the way, Down Thunder Road shows. The gritty reality of Springsteen's rock and roll career--from his troubled childhood, to early band frustrations, to marital and legal difficulties as he became a superstar. Here is Springsteen as you've never seen him before--raw, out-of-control, self-destructive, yet bursting with creative energy and passion. With dozens of never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia, Marc Eliot illuminates the reality behind the myth. Down Thunder Road is the ultimate story of. Bruce Springsteen and how he became a star.
