Plot
The life of Bruce Springsteen has been told many times, from the angle of the adored rock star, American icon. After a career spanning fifty years, nearly 130 million albums sold, concerts lasting over three hours in sold-out stadiums, fans including Sean Penn, Bono, Sting, Prince and Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen is now, at 73, one of rock’n’roll’s major icons. The American weeklies Time Magazine and Newsweek made no mistake in featuring the singer on their front pages in 1975, prophesying his inevitable success. A multimillionaire singer, the “Boss” has always sung about the little people, the workers who get up early in the morning, the people left behind by the American dream. On stage and in song, he continues to embody the American working class from which he sprang, and for which he remains the unapologetic spokesman. As in a Frank Capra film, anyone can become a hero in a Bruce Springsteen song.
