The Boss' website does a great job of keeping a creative narrative as well as just representing the artist. While He doesn't need much representation, the site posts current clips of performances, tour dates and such. Springsteen has also been known to periodically describe experiences and talk about his feelings on the site - as he did recently for the gay marriage debate. But I think the most unique and which truly conspires to form a narrative is the column to the right of the webpage, in which fans and/or writers of Backstreet - a magazine wholly dedicated to the E Street Band - keep an on going log of their experiences at his concerts. Sometimes one says they were disappointed with a song played and they give the band shit, others say they couldn't feel their left pinky toe during the performance of "The River." It's pretty much all love, but taken together, these accounts could form the ultimate book and testimony to Springsteen's sanctimonious concerts.
