Thanks for the clarification, but I would still be curious to know if what is charged really covers the cost of the guards' payroll. Wouldn't our military be better used providing security to taxpayers so islamists don't blow us up?
Since others are posting their celebrity stories, I'll share mine. I know someone who does security for the large venues in Chicago. He said after dealing with Madonna, all the security people were ready to shoot her. Crazed fans are the least of her worries! Contrast that with The Rolling Stones who were kind and gracious the entire time. Ronny Wood even went out with the security people after the last show to shoot pool!
I'm sorry but what program was this on? Does Colin Quinn have his on show? I'm not much of a TV watcher.
Fort Monmouth is less than three-four miles from Springsteen's mansion in Rumson, located just across the street from Rumson Country Day. That's why Fort Monmouth instead of Dix/McGuire.
His cars (at least one Jaguar convertible that needs a lot of maintenance) have been maintained at the Mayo Klinic almost across the street from the fort. Though it has recently moved three miles away into Red Bank.

I don't know what the show is called, but I guess it's Colin Quinn's own show. It was just him talking. It was on in the gym while I was working out, and I was glad I caught it for those great answers to hypocritical things said by Springsteen. I remember him from SNL, but I don't know much about his current career.
I know Springsteen lived close by, My dad was stationed at Monmouth. I lived in Keansburg, when I was a kid. not to far from the amuesment park.

So why not send it to Rush instead???
Sounds about right to me.
The Gate guard would be there anyway, regardless of who was using the facilities or not. So the pay is the same. The money paid for the use of the facilities goes to the bases MWR, Morale - Welfare - and Recreation office.
Thank you for your service to our country.
I've hated the Boss and his very-overrated music since that infernal "Born In the U.S.A." song, which is NOT about Bruce's patriotism.
If you are still in the monmouth area, stop by the Bayshore Manor Mobile Home park, the Site manager is Pat Russin, Tell her Geoff Carter said, "hi".
He's got that right. The only black people I've ever seen at a Springsteen show are Clarence Clemons and the stadium employees!
I've despised him ever since that anti-cop song.
