In this unique blend of memoir and musical analysis, John Massaro focuses on five of Springsteen's main themes: love, masculinity, sports, politics, and the power of music. He draws exciting connections between the Jersey rocker's lyrics, his own life stories, and historical, literary, and musical figures ranging from James Joyce to Lin-Manuel Miranda.
