Springsteen Autobiography Reveals the Man Behind the Music

As the president of Insmax Insurance Brokerage Inc. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Larry M. Koresko stays busy providing consulting for estates and businesses and speaking at numerous broker education events. When he is not working, Larry M. Koresko enjoys riding his motorcycle, seeing the country, and listening to music. One of his favorite artists is Bruce Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen, who skyrocketed to international fame in 1975 with the release of his album, Born to Run, is a New Jersey native who relies on his working-class roots to connect with his audience. For nearly 40 years, his concerts have consistently sold out across the nation and around the world. In 2015, “The Boss” released a collection titled The Ties that Bind: The River Collection, which celebrates the 35th anniversary of his album, The River, which was originally released in 1980.

On September 27, Springsteen will be releasing his autobiography, entitled Born to Run, published by Simon & Schuster. The book, which has been over seven years in the making, outlines Springsteen’s upbringing, family, and the personal struggles that have inspired his best work. In the book, Springsteen hopes to give his fans a glimpse of the heart and mind behind his music.

Devils Tower National Monument Soars above Wyoming

Lawrence M. Koresko holds an undergraduate degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. As president of Insmax Insurance Brokerage, Inc., in the Greater Philadelphia area, Lawrence M. Koresko often organizes educational events for brokers. An avid motorcyclist, Larry Koresko has visited many American tourist attractions, such as Devils Tower in Wyoming.

Declared a national monument by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, Devils Tower rises some 1,200 feet over Wyoming’s plains. Geologists do not agree on its exact origin, but the consensus holds that the tower is a volcanic rock formation. As the wearing down of the surrounding sedimentary rock progressed, the rock that is less susceptible to erosion gradually dominated the scene. The visual qualities of Devils Tower drew director Steven Spielberg to use it as a location for his classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

A favorite destination of hikers, Devils Tower features some eight miles of trails. A paved 1.3-mile trail encircles the tower, and other paths weave in and out of surrounding forests and meadows.

Because it has hundreds of cracks and columns, the tower is popular among climbers. The National Park Services requires climbers to register before an ascent and check back in when they are finished. Out of respect for Native American culture, the tower is closed to climbers in June.
