Is Bruce Springsteen planning an autobiography? Reports out of New York
indicate that the New Jersey rocker has indeed decided to turn his personal
journals into a full-fledged book, more in-depth than his 1998 lyrics collection
"Songs." A publishing industry source told the New York Post that Springsteen's
"could be the biggest rock music autobiography of all time," netting $9-$10
million for worldwide rights. Keith Richards received a reported $8 million
advance for his still-unpublished memoir, while Eric Clapton took $4 million for
his 2008 autobiography. Springsteen performs on November 13th at the Palace of
Auburn Hills, including the "Born to Run" album in its entirety. Tickets are
still available.
