From inside cover. Glory Days, written by Dave Marsh, who has tracked Bruce Springsteen's career since the mid 1970's and drawn on over a decade of conversations with him, is the result of an intimate familiarity and reveals more about Springsteen, the rock superstar of the eighties, than any other book possibly could. Bruce Springsteen co-operated with Marsh in the writing of this book. It is the rock and roll biography of the decade. Glory Days is laden with Springsteen's own views about himself, his work, his influences, his past and his future. Thus it has something of the extraordinary charismatic energy of the man in concert and on record concerts which are legendary for their duration and power, records which outsell those of any other rock star in the world. Springsteen's devotees divide into three unequal groups: those who discovered him in the early seventies with 'Greetings From Asbury Park' and 'The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle', those who came in at 'Born to Run' in 1975 and remained loyally frustrated until 1978 when a litigious silence of three years was broken by 'Darkness at the Edge of Town' and those who met him at 'The River' and were joined by a new enormous constituency of fans in 1984 with 'Born in the USA'. All now share a fanatic devotion and curiosity which has not been observed on the music atlas since the early days of the Beatles and Bob Dylan.
