Here's another good one - http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com...oss.5451260.jp

Evidently Bruce should have been visiting Scotland more regularly if these articles are anything to go by!

I especially liked this line - "[Bruce] has a knack of battering non-believers into submission." :cool: That would be me . . . although he had a lot of help from Kathleen!

Good reads Terri - I particularly liked this ending:

During an audience question and answer for the music channel VH1 in 2005, one desperate fan asked the star how he should convince his skeptical wife of his devotion to Springsteen's music. Bruce replied by saying that he wouldn't bother. "Talking about music is like talking about sex," he said. "It's best when demonstrated".

:D

Just wonderin' guys - are there any Springsteen books you'd recommened?

I saw one in a town nearby a while ago about him on tour. I had a quick flick through and it seemed real good but it was incredibly expensive.

Then I saw another one last week, a collection of unused Born To Run covers with some text on each page. But that was pretty expensive too.

So instead of forking out lots of money on a book that might suck, just figured I'd see which ones you'd all recommend :)

One of my favorites Oli is just the songs. It was done in the late 90's and it was all the words to all the songs - plus some history and pictures. It was updated after The Rising - I don't know if it's been updated again. This is the updated copy from 2003 in paperback from Amazon UK

Thank you for that, Kathleen. I trust your opinion when it comes to all things Springsteen so I'll order it when I come back from Scotland :D

If you're looking for a "biography" or likewise, then Dave Marsh has written a few
that are good.
