Bruce Springsteen told students attending a session at Farleigh Dickinson University Thursday (5/6) that his songwriting approach developed in part from his appreciation of another Garden State musical legend. Bruce said Frank Sinatra's ability to develop a story in the first person as the basis for a song became central to his own approach. Springsteen, appearing in a program with former poet Laureate Robert Pinsky during Warmfest, the university\'s Words and Musc Festival, spent the better part of two hours swapping stories and performing for about 400 FDU students lucky enough to score tickets to the closing session of the annual event.
