	The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Steven Van Zandt : Our redeemer of Rock 'n' Roll
		Van Zandt, who plays likable killer Silvio Dante on HBO's "The Sopranos," is also a charter member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, hailed for three decades as the consummate American rock 'n' roll ensemble.
		Thus Van Zandt underscored the universality of the garage band tradition — of reaching for and extending rock 'n' roll's mysteries and legacies — and placed Northwest rock in heroic perspective.
		Still, for some who saw the jovial Van Zandt on stage with Springsteen in unforgettable Seattle performances in 1975 or 1978, the transformation from his breezy E Street identity as Miami Steve to his makeover as Little Steven was abrupt.

	Steven Van Zandt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Van Zandt as Silvio Dante on The Sopranos
		Van Zandt officially left the E Street Band in 1984 (Springsteen's song "Bobby Jean" is said to be inspired by the split) and has been involved in numerous solo musical projects and collaborations since then, ranging from soul music to hard rock to world music.
		Van Zandt had no acting experience, and the unusual casting choice was made by series creator David Chase, who had remembered him as having an "interesting look" on Springsteen album photos.

	Steven Van Zandt \| The A.V. Club
		Van Zandt rose from the garage circuit to the Asbury Park bar scene, where he befriended the local players who later formed The E Street Band and Southside Johnny's band The Asbury Jukes.
		Van Zandt made the leap from the Dukes to the E Streeters after helping Bruce Springsteen with the arrangements on Born To Run, and his stint with the band corresponded with (and maybe prompted) Springsteen's shift from Bob Dylan-inspired boogie epics to the working-class retro-rock of his heyday.
		Van Zandt left the band in the '80s to pursue a more political brand of global rock, embarking on a five-album cycle that began with 1982's intimate Men Without Women and ended with 1999's equally intimate Born Again Savage, with more expansive records (and a couple of minor hits) in between.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Van Zandt, Little Steven: Van Zandt looks back on 'Born To Run'
		Speaking of fighting long odds, Van Zandt recalled that Springsteen and the E Street Band were doing just that when they recorded Born To Run three decades ago.
		The 55-year-old Van Zandt insisted the re-release of Born To Run should not be taken as an indication that Springsteen and the E Street Band are finished making new music.
		Van Zandt simply could not comprehend why a specific service to which you must subscribe -- we aren't talking about public airwaves here -- would be subject to censorship, or self-censorship.
