I had found the focus of Jersey rocker, Bruce Springsteen to be eye catching within the epilogue and chapter six of Fever. His songwriting skills translated his songs into stories, which really made his albums into series. His career had been basically singing about his life, from the resentment and anger that was about his father in "Adam Raised a Cain" to the having a giant hit with "Born in the U.S.A," which became an anthem for car commercials to L&M cigarettes and anything that was considered patriotic. Springsteen's musical career was broken up into three stages of his life which was difficult to separate: his early career had been about escaping from places, and then came limits that were in the way of life, and then late in his career towards the '90s came about running away from the limits that were in the way.
Although he was known as the next Dylan, he had some inconsistencies when it came to dishing out some projects in the '90s: his self- reliance and misconceptions about his work had taken a toll of a number of things. His marriage for one was not all it had seemed to be especially after "Tunnel of Love" was released in 1987. Who needed a soap opera when all you could do was listen to multiple albums of Springsteen with and without his E Street Band? Maybe Days of Our Lives or some other cheesy soap could have been tied with the appeal of Springsteen's music or otherwise known as his life.
