Jon Landau, former Rolling Stone writer and longtime Bruce Springsteen manager, paid tribute to Dave Marsh, a prolific rock critic and Springsteen biographer who died at 76. Marsh contributed to Creem, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and Newsday, authoring over 25 books including 'Born to Run: The Bruce Springsteen Story.' His work remains influential, with his Springsteen biography still considered essential. Landau highlighted Marsh's role in shaping rock journalism, his clashes with Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner, and his dedication to the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, which supported cancer patients. Marsh's legacy includes over 20 books, E Street Radio, and decades of benefit concerts. Landau called him a 'generous friend' and 'confrontationalist' who lived his potential fully, leaving a lasting impact on music and philanthropy.
