Bruce Springsteen has offered up a taste of what’s to come in his forthcoming new autobiography. The new volume, titled Chapter and Verse, finds the Boss telling his story over the course of 500 pages. In a newly released segment of the forward, he explains how things started for him in the early days. “I come from a boardwalk town where almost everything is tinged with a bit of fraud. So am I. By twenty, no race-car-driving rebel, I was a guitar player on the streets of Asbury Park and already a member in good standing amongst those who “lie” in service of the truth . . . artists, with a small “a.” But I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.” “This book is both a continuation of that story and a search into its origins. I’ve taken as my parameters the events in my life I believe shaped that story and my performance work. One of the questions I’m asked over and over again by fans on the street is “How do you do it?” In the following pages I will try to shed a little light on how and, more important, why.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
