Create Developing New Knowledge- a famous busker- Bruce Springsteen

!!!Facts!!!

1. Bruce has fans in high places. Barack Obama has said that there are "a handful of people who enter into your lives through their music and tell the American people's story. Bruce Springsteen is one of those people." He's also said that he ran for President because he couldn't be Bruce Springsteen.
2. Another fan was the late Joe Strummer. The Clash frontman was asked about the Boss for a TV documentary in mid-90s and he responded with a fax that said, among other things, "Bruce is great"¦if you don't agree with that, you're a pretentious Martian from Venus" and "The DJ puts on "˜Racing in the Streets' and life seems worth living again."
3. Dr. Ruth Westheimer once visited Bruce backstage at a show. She told him she liked what he said in his songs about love and sex, but she wished he'd mention contraception once in a while.
4. The late Warren Zevon was also Bruce's friend, fan and collaborator. When Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, he refused any treatment he thought would incapacitate him and headed to the studio—with plenty of friends in tow—to record his final album, The Wind. Springsteen provided background vocals and electric guitar for two songs, one of which won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. Springsteen later appeared on a tribute album to Zevon, performing his song "My Ride's Here."
5. Bruce had a bit of a hard time in school. When he was in third grade, a nun stuffed him into a garbage can under her desk, claiming that's "where he belonged." Years later, at Ocean County College, legend has it that his fellow students petitioned the administration to have him expelled.
6. Of course, he had his fans, too. Some of the girls in his high school approached the administration with a petition demanding that Bruce's band at the time, the Castiles, be given more attention and respect.
7. When the Springsteens were living in Freehold, New Jersey, their house was near a Nestle's factory. When the wind was just right, Bruce has said, he could smell chocolate all day long.
8. The first song a young Bruce learned play on the guitar was the Beatles' "Twist and Shout."
9. There really is an E Street. It runs northeast through the New Jersey shore town of Belmar. According to Springsteen lore, the band took its name from the street because original keyboard player David Sancious' mother lived there and allowed the band to rehearse in her house.
10. The titular avenue of "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" is also in Belmar. [Image courtesy of NJ.com (link).
11. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" was guitarist Steven Van Zandt's debut with the E Street Band. He came up with the idea for the horn intro and became the de facto arranger when he sang the line for the horn section.
12. The working title of Darkness on the Edge of Town was American Madness, also the title of a 1932 Frank Capra movie. Early copies of the album were mistakenly released inside covers for Barbra Streisand's Songbird.
