...Then a young truck driver, stupefyingly shy until he stood before a microphone, walked in to make a record for his mother. A few visits later, abetted by guitarist Scotty Moore, bass player Bill Black and Phillips at a primitive console, Elvis Presley fooled around until he came up with a variation on the Arthur Crudup song "That's All Right." It was, too. "That's different," Phillips legendarily said. "That's a pop song now, just 'bout." What it was, just 'bout, was rock 'n roll - a mighty mutant of pop, blues and country, born July 5, 1954, right...
...July, Springsteen and the E Street Band were holed up in a small theater on the Fort Monmouth Army base, cramming for a 46-city tour that starts Aug. 7.

"I don't care who pays for your college. Why should you care who pays for our records?" asks guitarist Jason Gnewikow...
...that included many originals, as well as crowd-pleasers like The Cars’ “I Think You’re Just What I Needed” and Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” The drummer and the lead guitarist doubled as singers, displaying the talent that made this band strong vocally and instrumentally. The pair has been together for eight years and released their first album, $14 the Hard Way last year, which contributed to their polished sound. The law students outclassed the other two contenders for originality, songwriting...
