N.J. university to host Bruce Springsteen’s archives

While it takes Bruce Springsteen close to four hours to effectively revisit the four-plus decades of his career in concert, the Boss needed just 90 minutes to chronicle his life story at New Jersey’s Monmouth University. The 67-year-old Garden State-born rocker spoke at the school in West Long Branch Tuesday night as part of an ”intimate conversation” moderated by Grammy Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli.
