My involvement with Bruce Springsteen's career goes back to 1978, when I became the Art Director of Thunder Road, the first magazine published about him; it continued with illustrations associated with his legendary show at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, N.J., on September 19, '78; and I have been a longtime contributor to Backstreets, the current Springsteen publication.
