In interviews finish Bruce Springsteen as good as each sentence, each response, with a smånervöst laughter. When I was at the end of the 1990s, did a long interview with him, it became after a while a bit strange. How serious our conversation at times was so put it where the characteristic smårossliga laughter always point. You could take part of it with all desirable clarity when Bruce Springsteen at the weekend, was a guest in Fredrik Skavlans talk shows. The laughter signals that the question is answered and we’ll move on to the next. But also sometimes that subject is a little too personal, a tad cumbersome.

In the recently 67 years of age the artist’s autobiography, it is this laughter, just like in Bruce Springsteen’s music, quite effectively bortredigerat. "Born to run" is told chronologically. In many but relatively short – often informal – chapter explores a topic at a time: an album, a song, a family member, a place, or an affliction. It is a worthy love letter to the Progressives believe and want to be his base of fans and potential readership. But the dignity, which adopts all possible guises – has also an ability to stand in the way between the scribe Bruce Springsteen, and me reading him.

I think not to Springsteen holding back something, I doubt that there is much he blinds, or avoid. There is also no efterkonstruerad dignity it’s all about – but something that feels no more than truthfully. An irish-Italian arbetarsons proud of everything he and his followers have achieved in the so the paradox of the american dream suburbs. I get several times also genuinely touched by the genuine kindness, kindness, as the narration exudes. And I will be just as relevant as Springsteen with the rhetorical skill declares his boundless love for the redemptive soul and rock'n'roll and, later in life, the love of themselves, love.

But this is also a light which constantly stresses the importance of disciplined work ethic, determination and self-realization. Almost like a 500-page "Summer"-script from Asbury Park’s answer to P1. There is also a desire to reach everyone, not scare away anyone. Just as for a maratonspelning with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band left no one outside. It is as well as the whole business model.

And Bruce Springsteen tells us, everything he does, is really colored by the meticulous, purposeful varumärkesförädling. As a bandleader he is dictatorial. And he is the sole artist to the company account. Here, there’s never been any drugs – seemingly less than a joint during the hippie era, or a few troublesome amounts of alcohol, not more than a small bunch of tequila shots and a beer. No groupies are allowed to get in the way of Springsteen’s ambitions. Some have one-night stands and a regular but very gentle hint that the fidelity can be tricky on tour is the closest you will more traditionally expected rockbiografiterritorium. Prescription drugs and talk therapy to overcome clinical depression and panikångestattacker is, however, a necessity for the singer’s survival.

When "Born to run" is boring, and with ögonblicksvis banal, it is very boring. Few of us are seriously interested in lengthy kontraktsbråk. Personally, I become even a tad pömsig of the cars he has owned or purchased. And then and then assume his prose about the music form of conventional informative and technically detailed cover texts in a nyutgivet cd covers. The dreary records are almost untraceable past, some of them are mentioned less than. Second one is described with wonderful parables of the samurai getting ready to pull out of the war and the burning making speeches.

But the "Born to run" is rarely stronger than when Bruce Springsteen captures a absolutely now – regardless of when it unfolds and the narration turned into a Frank Bascombe (the lågmälde the protagonist of Richard Ford’s New Jersey-based novels) with the guitar. Sleepless car in the slush during the visit to the birthplace Freeholds darkness, tonårshångel on the boardwalk at The Jersey Shore, and memories of the late E Street Band member Danny Federicis last concert where he asks that they will play "Sandy". In these moments of small and great emotions turn memories into vivid and beautiful prose. Where returns, Springsteen’s ability as storyteller and artist to describe the back of both exuberant rock'n'roll-the joy and the american dream.

When he allows himself to lose himself in New Jersey, in socialrealism and klassmedvetenhet (the fight for Vietnamveterander and downtrodden industriarbetares rights, for example) is "Born to run" also impeccable. Springsteen sits in the meetings with the californian trade unions, giving considerable donations to the 1980s, striking miners in Wales and ask rullstolsbunda war veterans to present Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band from the stage.

the international hästhoppningstävlingar he as a parent of a hästbiten daughter go on with the family launches Bruce Springsteen just as this is being written a bokturné for "Born to Run" by the united states. And he does it without the guitar. I look forward to the Swedish ” first reports from a reading and book signing in, say, any Barnes & Noble in Oregon that turns out to last closer to four hours and ends with an explosive högläsningsmedley of the author’s favoritkapitel from books by Herman Melville, Flannery O’connor and Philip Roth. With the greatest probability of reaching the tour Ullevi stadium around the midsummer 2017.
