will explain his rise to fame and the
struggles behind his songs in a
memoir to be released in
September, his publisher
announced Thursday. The book will be entitled "Born to
Run," named after Springsteen's
1975 song that both marked his
rise to fame and lyrically explained
his drive to get out of his home in
Freehold, New Jersey. The publisher, Simon and
Schuster, said that Springsteen
would tell stories behind the songs
for the first time and show "why
the song 'Born to Run' reveals
more than we previously realized." The memoir will relate the "poetry,
danger and darkness" of his youth
in Freehold and his "relentless
drive" to become a musician as he
started playing at a bar in nearby
Asbury Park, the publisher said. "Writing about yourself is a funny
business," Springsteen, 66, said in
a statement. "But in a project like this, the writer
has made one promise, to show
the reader his mind. In these
pages, I've tried to do this," he
said. The book will be released
September 27 in 14 countries, with
editions in French, German and
Spanish. The New York Post said that
Springsteen received a $10 million
advance for the book. Simon and
Schuster did not comment. One of the most successful artists
in rock history, Springsteen made
his name with legendarily energetic
live performances and tales of the
American working-class.
