16 signs you’re not a true Jersey Bruce fan (even if you think you are)

On the air, we discussed whether Gov. Christie made the right decision in allowing himself to be videotaped dancing at a Springsteen concert (and not for the first time!).

4. You think “Born in the USA” is a patriotic ode to America.

5. You hit the road a little early 'cause four hours is a long time to be at a concert.

6. You love and appreciate Patti Scialfi’s contribution.
