He then follows the perenially touring Springsteen and his band from their founding in 1972, through superstardom with "Born to Run" in 1975, the 1984 worldwide hit "Born in the USA" and their marathon 1999-2000 tour. Santelli has been writing about Springsteen and the E Street Band since the early 1970s.
