Bruce Springsteen was born
on
September 23, 1949, in New Jersey. By singing about working class
life and
American heartache and touring endlessly, Bruce
has become one of the most respected and successful
musicians in
the world. Bruce grew up in a working-class family in New Jersey. Bruce
fell in love with the rock and roll
-
sound, but also found out
that his father was not crazy about his rock ambitions.
-
Much of Bruce's early work
reflects his conflicts with his father, but most especially
his
working-class roots. After not finding much success after high
school in New York City, Bruce
played with a string of bands in the New
Jersey area, including the Castiles, the Togues, Dr.
Soom, and the
Sonic Boom.
