In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.

A great story from a great soul.

The Boss tells his story with great love. I listen to many rock and roll bios. This is among the best, along with Clapton , Keef.

From the pen of legendary raconteur Damon Runyon comes tales of a New York that never was but might have been - a world of smooth-talking card sharks, smiling crap-shooters, cheerful con men, and charming rogues. Featuring radio favorite John Brown as your host, Broadway, Damon Runyon Theater brings to vivid life some of the master's finest short stories. They're positively Runyonesque!

Damon Runyon deserves better
Revisado: 03-01-15
Would you listen to Damon Runyon: Broadway Complex again? Why?
Yes. But then, I listen to all favorites repeatedly.
Did John Brown do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
No. Like some guy doing a "Damon Runyon" imitation of "Damon Runyon" characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Damon Runyon's tales and voice have been so used, abused and inflated. Underplaying, rather than overplaying, the dialect and accent would have put back some of the raw sweetness and wordlay.
Any additional comments?
It's great to revisit these characters, but I hold out hope for a straight up version.

Strange but beautiful
Revisado: 03-01-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Creators to be better than the print version?
Toss up.
What other book might you compare The Creators to and why?
Coming of Age in the Milky Way : Timothy Ferris. Avail on Audible. Endearing portraits of the oddballs who just have to create and explore.
What about Michael Jackson’s performance did you like?
Conversational tone, as if recounting old stories and characters. His delivery and the editing are herky jerky: this takes some getting used to be I've grown found of it, as it heightens the randomness and connectivity of creation.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Willingness to take both spirituality and religious figures seriously.
Any additional comments?
Great for listeners like me, who use non fiction audio as bedtime stories, and who draw inspiration from the details and influences in the great lives.
