Born to run and run

Article Abstract:

Rock singer Bruce Springsteen has an extremely powerful stage presence. He is particularly impressive when singing alone on stage. His work clearly traces the course of his life, stretching from the desperate ambition and overt romanticism of a young man to the calm and maturity of a husband and father. He is almost unique among rock singers of his generation in applying the tools of popular music to the challenges of mature life.
