Must see

Just go watch it.If you love the Sopranos: watch it! Haven't even finished that part yet however it was the main reason to start watching in the beginning.If you love Bruce Springsteen: watch it! How they grew up musically is not possible anymore so that is a great thing to watch.If you love change or how to accomplish it: watch it! Getting thanked by Nelson Mandela himself, getting conscious that it is possible to make a change to the world is heartwarming. He did make a change. Laid a foundation for lots of music and he should always be remembered for this.Great man. Also great on twitter ?

An Awesome Documentary

I devoured Steve Van Zandt's autobiography Unrequited Infatuations a number of years ago so I was anxious to see this.It did not disappoint.Van Zandt has led an interesting rock and roll life. While he never achieved his "Boss'" success, he can be credited for trading on his name for activism. And though it cost him dearly, he eventually had a second act as an actor in my favorite television show.The mark of a documentary like this is who they can get to participate by being interviewed. Besides Bruce, there are numerous people who weigh in here. Everyone from Eddie Vedder to Darlene Love and from Paul McCartney to David Chase. That made for an compelling documentary and one I highly recommend.

WATCH IT, TRUST ME!!

For anyone that is a fan of the subject matter, this is a Must See!!Even if you're just a Bruce fan, and don't really care about the history, you will find it interesting.I never really knew that much about Steven Van Zandt, just knew that he was in the E Street band. I had no idea why he left the E Street band, I just thought, at the time, that he was crazy!This documentary fills in so many blanks, and gives you a newfound respect for Little Steven, Miami Steve, Steven Van Zandt!!He has accomplished so much and many of us know nothing about it.Not a slow or boring moment in the nearly two and a half hours.It was excellent, truly well done and there was tons of surprising information.
