WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - About 300 professors from as far away as Australia have come to Bruce Springsteen's native New Jersey to fill their brains with the Boss.
The no-holds-barred intellectual romp "Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium" began Thursday with a walking tour the rocker's old stomping grounds, including his boyhood home in Freehold.
The academic symposium organized by Virginia Tech and Penn State-Altoona continues through Sunday. It includes several pilgrimages to the Stone Pony bar in Asbury Park, where Springsteen launched his career.
The scholarly exploration covers topics such as Springsteen and psychology, movies, culture, gender and the criminal justice system.
Springsteen turned 60 on Wednesday.
