Springsteen on Broadway

Well I am a fan and I've just read the autobiography so I was interested to see this. When I had 2.5 hours to spare.

It's not just singing, he's also a bit of a raconteur. The stories will be familiar to anyone who's read the book.

He does state right at the start that he'd never worked in a factory and done five days a week ('until now. I hate it'). It's surprising to me that one reviewer is disappointed in this. Somehow hearing that someone is making it all up (writing that is) means they're a fraud. As if a writer cannot use their imagination! And for Springsteen it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine what his life would've been like if he hadn't got the rock 'n' roll bug. Because that was his family background, so yeah why wouldn't he sing about blue-collar working people? Now if he was from a well-to-do professional family that would be different (though surely even the middle classes might be allowed to use their imagination too?).

Recommended especially for fans.
