Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Springsteen on Broadway’ at the legendary Walter Kerr Theater is well underway, receiving terrific reviews. The Broadway show gives us an excuse to share more Boss info, so here goes nothing…

Although Bruce wrote “Blinded By the Light” appearing on his debut LP ‘Greetings from Asbury Park’, the song was a perfect fit for the Manfred Mann Earth Band, hitting number one on the charts.

History was made in 1975, as for the very first time, a rock star appeared on the covers of Newsweek and Time magazines at nearly the same time. Rock critic John Landau (and eventual manager) indicated Bruce was the future of rock and roll.
