I was never that much of a Bruce Springsteen fan. I am so much into Bob Dylan, the Beatles and other acts that started in the 1960s. Thus, I never developed an interest in Springsteen and his music. I did buy a few CDs of his over the years, but it is a small fraction of my collection.
Today, the Springsteen Center is opening on the campus of Monmouth University in New Jersey. It is very similar to the Dylan Center in Tulsa, but there are some differences.
Monmouth University is in the general vicinity where Springsteen was born and started his musical career. Dylan performed a few concerts in Tulsa, but has no roots there.
The Dylan Center contains artifacts that the George Kaiser Family Foundation purchased. I believe the Springsteen Center is an outgrowth are artifacts from a local collector that was once housed in a local public library.
Bob Dylan nevert foot into the center in Tulsa and never gives interviews. Springsteen was interviewed in his center in the video from PBS.
Monmouth University is about a 90 minute drive from home. I will have to check it out sometime.
