A special VersoFest panel discussion celebrating the 50th anniversary of Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen’s breakthrough 1975 album — a seminal work that is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock albums of the 20th century.

The discussion was hosted by Arlen Schumer, author, pop culture historian, and the art director of Thunder Road, the first magazine dedicated to Springsteen’s life and music; and Dick Wingate, former music industry senior executive and current Verso Studios advisory board member who, while at Columbia Records, product managed Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town.

Schumer and Wingate were joined by an all-star panel including:

  • Mike Appel, Springsteen’s first manager and the co-producer of Born to Run
  • Michael Pillot, former Columbia Records promotions director
  • Robert Santelli, executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music
  • Kenneth Womack, music historian and co-author of 2024 Rutgers University Press book, Bruce Songs
