Book
Walk like a man : coming of age with the music of Bruce Springsteen / Robert J. Wiersema.
Like liner notes for a mix-tape, this book is a blend of biography, music appreciation, and memoir. Robert Wiersma grew up with Springsteen's songs: from his own working-class youth on through dreams of escape, falling in love, and becoming a father. His book tells the story of a man becoming a man, and of the man and the music that have accompanied him on his journey.
