Stephen King Thinks He’s Be Perfect In ‘The Stand’

If you read Stephen King’s The Stand, then you probably can’t help but picture Bruce Springsteen as the character Larry Underwood.

Random fact: Ernest “Boom” Carter doesn’t get the same name recognition that the other E Streeters get, but even if you’re just a casual Springsteen fan, you’ve heard his music.
