NJ trilogies of music, movies and food

Whitney Houston came up on the show Thursday because she would have been 55 years old. Bill Doyle casually mentioned he thought she might be part of the ultimate trilogy of New Jersey singers; Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen. I said that will put off a lot of Jon Bon Jovi fans, which then made him also think of Frankie Valli.

So on Friday's show we decided to have people call in with their various NJ trilogies. Some of the groups were singers, actors and iconic Jersey food. Here's what New Jerseyans came up with to best rep their state.
