Talk About a Dream: The Essential Interviews of Bruce Springsteen de Christopher Phillips

Talk About a Dream: The Essential Interviews of Bruce Springsteen

Editat de Christopher Phillips, Louis P. Masur
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2013
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. Q&As 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 Springsteen's own words are collected here inTalk 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 Springsteen's 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.

Recenzii

[An] amazing volume. A worthy edition to the Springsteen literary canon.
From the tentative launch ofGreetings from Asbury Parkin 1973 to the triumphantWrecking Balltour in 2013,Talk About a Dreamdescribes the life of Bruce Springsteen in the inimitable words of the man who knows it best: Bruce Springsteen. In all his glory and bleakness; in his mythologizing and debunking; in his boasts and confessions, authors Phillips and Masur have Springsteen dead to rights.
Christopher Phillips and Louis P. Masur have assembled a remarkable collection of interviews. Insightful and entertaining and an absolute must for Springsteen fans.
Talk About a Dreamcharts Springsteen's journey from 'sullen mumbler' to one of the more articulate rock stars, nay cultural commentators, today; and in a manner verging on the definitive.
No artist has ever been as candid, informative, and entertaining as Bruce is in this wonderful book,Talk About a Dream. As revealing as you could possibly hope. I highly recommend it.
A fascinating addition to the growing shelf of Springsteen studies.
