Big Man the Book

This is not a standard memoir. We are storytellers, and the sections labeled “Legend” are quite simply, stories that we have told over the years in cars, bars, planes, trains, and rooms in hotels and hospitals.

Most of them contain some fact and a lot of fiction, and so you should not take them literally. Conversations and situations have been constructed and imagined, swapped around in time and place, embellished, and invented. These legends are written in the third person because that’s how legends are told.

Everything else you can take literally. It is all factual and reported just how it happened.

In the end, we wrote this book to shed light on the E Street story as well as share the truths, lies, recollections, and imaginings we’ve told each other over the course of thirty-plus years. The bottom line is this: we have amazing tales to tell, and they’re all here. We had great fun living and writing these stories.

You should’ve been there.
