bruce springsteen


Bruce Springsteen is one of the best classic rock musicians of his time! Bruce first  got  in to rock and roll when  he saw Elvis Presley play  on the Ed Sullivan show. After Bruce  saw him play he fell in love with rock and roll and asked his mom  for his 16th birthday for a guitar and that is what he got! Since he got his guitar when he was 16th he hasn’t stopped playing it since then. But then he turned 18  he was drafted in the military  and was sent to Vietnam. Before though he went he failed his   exam by the military because they said he was to crazy and that  that he had a concussion. After that he was free from going into the military service so he moved to the New Jersey shore and just played  music with different groups of music. In new  jersey  Bruce  got the nickname the boss. After playing on the shore of jersey for a few  years  he got discovered by Columbia records and signed with them. Then Bruce released  his one album in 1972 after it got released a lot  of people compared  him to bob Dylan because he had the same poetic style that bob did. But his first album wasn’t very good at all! But that all changed in 1975 when he let out his best album in his whole career Born To Run  it shot up fast to 200 on the billboard  and that was his start to his great fame. Some songs on the that album were: Thunder  road, night, born to run, meeting across the river and she’s the one. After  that he had great success but the greatest  thing that happened in his musical career is when he was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1999.
