Springsteen is an absolute uneducated moron. But, there is a NJ thing about him with the sound of the music, and not necessarily the lyrics, which can't really be understood anyway unless they are written down.

There is a shore mentality to Springsteen, and everyone who spent teenage years in NJ knows what that means. Christie grew up here, and Springsteen is in his blood from his formative years.

In a previous time, Christie may have been a big Sinatra fan, since he was also a NJ native and sang locally in the beginning of his career, too.

(I live here, but am a transplant from the Midwest. Been here long enough, though, and this is my perspective.)

I understand what you are saying. It is a Jersey thing. Soem people in Calif have a similiar thing for The Eagles but Springsteen is much bigger in Jersey.

He identifies his entire youth and NJ plus the Shore with Bruce’s swill.
