Bruce Springsteen often prefers to let his music do the talking. His onstage stories and shaggy dog tales have long entertained his fans; but his songs and his guitar provide the most direct line to their hearts. Considering his prominence on the rock n roll landscape; Springsteen has spent remarkably little of his 40-year recording career speaking to the press. But when he does decide to sit down and talk; the conversations tend to be momentous. QAs with Bruce Springsteen reveal an artist with great insight and self-awareness; a student of music; an avid searcher; an astute observer of humanity from the boardwalk to America at large. Much has been written about the Boss; but few can be said to know the man as well as he knows himself; and the best of Springsteens own words are collected here in Talk About a Dream. Gathering more than 30 different interviews spanning from 1973 to 2013; this volume captures his remarkable personality-one that takes interviews as seriously as making music. These eye-opening conversations chart Springsteens development as an artist; a thinker; and a public figure; shedding light on everything from the meaning of lyrics to his evolution from rebel rocker to global icon.
