...Beat poet William Burroughs perhaps put it best when describing his brief time at Harvard: “I hated the university and I hated the town it was in. Everything about the place was dead. The university was a fake English setup taken over by the graduates of fake English public schools. I was lonely. I knew no one and strangers were regarded with distaste by the closed corporation of the desirables...

In the eleven years since he first gained national attention, the bus-driver's son and blue-collar rock poet who sings of hard times, dying towns and stubborn dreams has become much more than a legendary performer. Bruce Springsteen, 37, is one of the most potent money-making machines in the history of entertainment. His earnings possibly eclipse even Michael Jackson's income, which derives from records, videos, concerts, toys...
