The Atlantic has a GREAT story on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his thoughts on one of his biggest musical heroes, Bruce Springsteen.
Writer Jeffrey Goldberg hangs with Christie at a Boss concert in Newark, N.J., at the governor's office in Trenton, N.J. and gets Christie to share what he likes about Springsteen, what frustrates him, and his feelings over the fact that Springsteen does not communicate with the governor.
“At some point maybe I will be. If Bruce and I sat down and talked, he would reluctantly come to the conclusion that we disagree on a lot less than he thinks," Christie says.
This is a great read. Check it out.

Yet another American Republican politician trying to gain credibility by aligning themselves to Springsteen's philosophy.
It didn't work in the Eighties, nor the Nineties.
Still, it's always amusing to witness the more moribund of this country's elected officials try to gain credible traction.
