Iconic music star Bruce Springsteen is out here on tour (Jan 25 – Feb 18), and we’re celebrating the man and his music. In this issue, we feature a compelling extract from The Boss’ new autobiography Born to Run, and life-long fan Richard Castles explains how Springsteen has helped him through his darkest day. It’s also a very special edition for us: International Vendor Week! To celebrate, our edition is jam-packed with stories from vendors all around the world. We interview vendor Lukas from Melbourne about being his own boss; we have a conversation between vendor Mark from Melbourne and vendor Ann from Denver, Colorado; and we have beautiful pictures and Q&As with vendors from street papers all around the globe, including Fay from Sydney! Plus, the photo for the Vendor Profile this edition was taken by Adelaide vendor Krystal H.
