The resilience of the New Jersey troubadour has seen him top the album charts in four successive decades, and his epic world tours with the hard-working E Street Band are still sellouts well into the new millennium. This guide examines the growth of Bruce Springsteen's career, from the optimistic youth who wrote "Born to Run" to the respected heavyweight songwriter of today.
