• The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music opened on June 13.
• The museum is a down-to-earth and heartfelt bear hug of every imaginable genre.
• With exhibition space totaling roughly 8,600 square feet, it couldn’t possibly be a great temple.
• But what the center lacks in comprehension, it more than makes up for in—well, the word, as The Beatles put it, is love.
• It reflects Springsteen’s heart and vision, says executive director Bob Santelli.
