Am I a hardcore fan of The Boss? No, I wouldn't say so. I like his music very much, especially from the late '80s and early '90s, but I am not a hardcore fan. I was at his concerts in Berlin and Dublin, but I am not the first person to buy his latest CDs, however I have almost every single one of them.
Anyhow, when I planned my trip to Philadelphia, it was obvious that I want to see the exhibition in the Constituton Center.
It was a Tuesday morning and maybe that was the reason why only few people were there (lucky me!)

What is on display? Bruce's handwritten notes, his shirts and jeans, guitars, his motorcycle. Actually there are loads of lyrics there on old and crumbled pages! Somehow I thought writing a song is a bit easier process if you have the vein. It was new to me that Bruce spent months on songs.
You can also see interviews and music clips on screens.

There was a corner where different lyrics were explained, such as "Born in the USA" and "41 shots". And you could ask or talk to the guys. I had a lenghty chat with Matthew who possess a tremendous amount of knowledge about Springsteen.
Photography was not allowed, I could only take this one.

All in all, if you have 1.5 hours to spare and you like Bruce Springsteen's music, the exhibition is definitely recommended!
