Bruce Springsteen – “The Boss”
The first time somebody called Bruce Springsteen “The Boss” was in 1971 near Asbury Park. From then until now he has already released about 20 albums and won one Oscar, two Golden Globes and 20 Grammys for his extra-ordinary music and talent. Also he is well-known for his political and social effort. But most of all his fans love him for his music and the unbelievable power on the stage.
Bruce Springsteen’s passion for music started with 13 when he got his first guitar but his real career started in 1965 when he joined the band “Castiles”. He changed to a few other times until he finally met his current guitarist Steven Van Zandt. That was when Springsteen released his first album Greetings From Asbury Park, N. J..
But only with his third album Born To Run (1975) Springsteen and the E-Street Band had their great breakthrough. Darkness On The Edge Of Town, The River and Nebraska followed but with Born In The U.S.A. , which contained 7 Top-Ten Songs, he definitely became a superstar.
In 1985 he married the model Julienne Philips but broke up only 3 three years after the marriage because he fell in love with his background singer Patti Scialfa with who he has three kids and is happily married until today. Only two years ago Clarence Clemons, Springsteens’s best friend and saxophonist, better known as “Big Man” died of an apoplexy und just a few months ago it was published that Bruce Springsteen is suffering of depressions. But he still goes on tours and works on a new album which is very impressing in my opinion.
What I personally admire most about Bruce Springsteen is the depth of his songs and specially his texts. He talks about things how they really are and does not sing about what the population wants to hear – just the hard truth. There are only a few musicians who are brave enough to say what nobody wants to hear and he is one of them. Also his concerts are the most amazing concerts I have ever been to. He is now 63 and
