Bruce Springsteen
explores a time of 'Darkness'
stockbuickNEW YORK — Bruce Springsteen still writes songs the old-fashioned way. Which is to say The Boss keeps his initial creative process low-tech.
"I've got this big fat notebook," he says, holding his hands out for emphasis and flashing a distinctly self-deprecating grin. "It's the same kind I've always used, with everything written in longhand."
In the documentary The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, which makes its debut Thursday on HBO (9 p.m. ET/PT), black-and-white footage shows a 27-year-old Springsteen leafing through such a notebook while working on Darkness on the Edge of Town, the 1978 album that cemented his reputation as a great American troubadour. A three-CD, three-DVD box set including the film, due Nov. 16, features an 80-page simulation, complete with facsimiles of his scribbled lyrics, song ideas and recording and personal notes from that era.
