As a one-time resident of the Garden State (Tara and I lived in NJ for two and a half years, admittedly somewhat of a counter-intuitive living experiment for us), I am always happy to see pugnacious dickhead governor Chris Christie put in his place, but especially when the human embodiment of New Jersey itself, Bruce Springsteen is the one doing the dissin’!!!

Christie is a known Springsteen FREAK and has attended well over 100 concerts by the Boss over the years. In fact, Christie has been seen dancing his ass off and vigorously playing air drums at Bruce concerts like he’s in religious ecstasy (with all the iPhones about, no one’s gotten any footage of this???).

But the Boss no like the lardass NJ governor and goes out of his way to let Christie know this, as reported in The Atlantic:

Despite heroic efforts by Christie, Springsteen, who is still a New Jersey resident, will not talk to him. They’ve met twice — once on an airplane in 1999, and then at the 2010 ceremony inducting Danny DeVito into the New Jersey Hall of Fame, where they exchanged only formal pleasantries. (Christie does say that Springsteen was very kind to his children.) At concerts, even concerts in club-size venues — the Stone Pony, in Asbury Park, most recently — Springsteen won’t acknowledge the governor. When Christie leaves a Springsteen concert in a large arena, his state troopers move him to his motorcade through loading docks. He walks within feet of the stage, and of the dressing rooms. He’s never been invited to say hello. On occasion, he’ll make a public plea to Springsteen, as he did earlier this spring, when Christie asked him to play at a new casino in Atlantic City. “He says he’s for the revitalization of the Jersey Shore, so this seems obvious,” Christie told me. I asked him if he’s received a response to his request. “No, we got nothing back from them,” he said unhappily, “not even a ‘Fuck you.’”

Hahahahaha hahahahahaha hahahahahah ha! Best thing I’ve read all morning!

Below, Christie makes a plea to the Boss to play in Atlantic City on Labor Day weekend.
