When Bruce Springsteen called his first album Greetings from Asbury Park, he introduced a generation of fans to a fallen seaside resort town that came to represent working-class American life. Starting with the town’s founding as a religious promised land, music journalist and poet Daniel Wolff plots a course through Asbury Park’s 130 years of entwined social and musical history, in a story that captures all the allure and heartbreak of the American dream.
A colorful history of Asbury Park, New Jersey, provides a chronicle of the evolution of the seaside resort town from its founding as a religious commune through 130 years of social, cultural, and musical development, offering tidbits of local history, profiles of the celebrities who passed through, its decline into blight, and the potential for its future. Reprint.
