Books like Glory Days: Bruce Springsteen in the 1980s

As I continue my read every book we own project, I am trying to knock out some of our non-fiction. I probably bought this book off a big box bookstore clearance table sometime in the late 80s. 30 years and 4 moves later, I'm finally reading it. I'm a Bruce fan and I really wanted to like and enjoy this book, but it's just too boring and pointless. I gave up after about 44 pages, with still about 400 to go. The vignettes really tell you nothing about the author's good buddy Bruce Springsteen. And at this point, nobody cares about a city by city recap of the 1983 European tour. If anyone ever did. The book is subtitled Bruce Springsteen in the 1980s. It was published in 1987, so there were still 2.5 years of the 80s left, but that didn't seem to bother anyone. It starts in old school Rolling Stone scholarly prose, which Dave Marsh does perfectly true to style. Maybe that was more palatable back when there wasn't much to read or do. In 2018, it just a chore to get through.
