The Boss

I was recently presented with the challenge of coming up with a list of songs that exude the feel of New Jersey.

So, it turns out 'The Boss' is a Phillies fan after all.

It seems like all the experts are in agreement about what the best song ever about New Jersey is.

Coldplay is amazing live, let's get that out of the way right now but no one expected this!

Is there anything less celebrity-like than a guy taking a stroll along the Jersey Shore on a chilly winter day? Well, one fellow walker was in the right place at the right time this week when he spotted Bruce Springsteen.

There are certain celebrities you're likely to run into at the Jersey Shore. That's because they're from here and they love it enough to stay. Think about it, they could be anywhere but they choose the beautiful Jersey Shore. Local Alli Stevens just had the greatest Jersey celebrity encounter that she will probably ever have...she bumped into The Boss at the beach and he was buff!

By now almost everyone has heard that Bruce Springsteen was arrested back in November for a DWI in Sandy Hook. This news was upsetting on many levels because you know, he’s The Boss and he’s ours. Not only that, bosses are in charge, we look up to them and they are supposed to be in control. As I learn more this though, it's not as clear cut as I thought.

There’s a scene in The Boss where Melissa McCarthy’s character, a disgraced business mogul named Michelle Darnell, tries to rebuild her financial empire by going to a country club to woo potential investors. Her pitch goes badly, from both a practical perspective and a comedic one. Not realizing one of the investors’ wives is dead, she mocks her and calls her terrible names, and basically makes a fool out of herself. None of this is funny. The conversation goes on and on, fumbling for some kind of ending, until Michelle excuses herself and then suddenly and randomly falls down a flight of stairs. End of scene.

I couldn't believe my eyes.  The flyer said Bruce Springsteen would be playing Seaside Heights and tickets would cost only $4.50!   That old concert poster, currently on display at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia is one of more than 150 artifacts that Bruce fans will be interested to see.
