Lucky for Dave Marsh that Bruce Springsteen’s career reads like something out of West Side Story. Most unauthorized rock bios are about as interesting as their subject matter, which usually means they’re boring as hell. These kind of things are cranked out regularly by rock writers who need the bucks, and the worst of them—the Fleetwood Mac bios, the Peter Frampton bios, the Wings bios—all read like 100-page press releases, snooze-a-minute, read-it-and-sleep money grabbers.
