Western Stars: The boss is at the multiplex


Bruce (one name will suffice) is an American treasure. Even the Movie Slut who likes her music more edgy, admits that. So why did he compromise himself with this infomercial of a flick?

Western Stars is little more than a filming of his latest album of the same name. It's interspersed with tantalizing tidbits about Springsteen's demons and challenges, which we're told are fleshed out in his memoir, Born to Run. Does that make the movie a double infomercial?

Having said that, the music is fine and the boss is engaging. If you're a fan, by all means, see it.
