Bruce Springsteen is arguably New Jersey’s most beloved treasure. With political anthems like “Born in the USA”and “War,” the artist managed to craft a brand of rock that deeply spoke to blue-collar America. As a result, he’s amassed 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. Is there even a trophy case big enough?
Though Springsteen rose to fame after Born to Run was released in 1975, he’s still performing and making a killing on his craft. He had the second highest-grossing tour of 2012, which brought him an estimated $33.44 million and has sold over 66.5 million records in America to date.
