Streets of Fire: Bruce Springsteen in Photographs & Lyrics, 1977-1979

“I’m the President, but he’s The Boss.” —President Obama, on Bruce Springsteen

1977 was the year that Star Wars debuted, the year that The Silmarillion was released, and the year that Three's Company introduced John Ritter to the world. But if none of that strikes your fancy, it was the year that Bruce  Springsteen’s his fourth album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. It was this album that transformed him into the Boss. Photographer Eric Meola’s captured Springsteen's transformation from bearded to clean shaven, from rocker to rock god, and those photos are all here. Streets of Darkness contains some Meola photographs that have never been published before. It's massive and memorable, capturing an artist at the crossroads of fame and arguably one of the cultural highlights in a year full of them.
