Yes, he used to live in Ramsey. His granddaughter was born five minutes before my daughter at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. Both of us were having C-Sections. I only know this because my sister was sitting in the waiting room with his son's in-laws.

Met Aiello once at Tutta Pasta in Hoboken. He actually owns that restaurant. Got an autograph from him at the restaurant for my Grandmother who was also eating with us. He's a real nice guy. Loves his track suits!
Jack Nicholson (one of my favorite all-time actors) grew up in Neptune. Not sure where he got that accent from.
Springsteen grew up in Freehold which was solidly middle class. Not sure if writing about the area he grew up in should be called "bitching", but a lot of right-wingers don't like Bruce's politics because he often speaks truth to power. They can't handle it.

I think Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are regarded are "head in the clouds" liberal. They are both pretty hard to take seriously at least politically.

Most rock stars have no opinion or don't articulate it so you're comparing them to a small sample size.
I wasn't saying that from a political standpoint, just pointing out that most of his music is pretty similar-sounding and it's all centered on this downtrodden, introspective character he's created. "tramps like us, baby we were born to runnnnnn!!!" and "I got debts no honest man can pay so meet me tonight in Atlantic city" and complaining about getting a union card for his birthday at one point or another. And then on The Rising, "My City in Ruins" bitching about how Asbury Park looks crappy.
I know he's liberal, but I never paid much attention to his actual views too closely. My conservative aunt doesn't like him. I know he doesn't like Chris Christie. But yeah, politics aside, I've spent my life subjected to Springsteen music and it seemed like a huge, days-long guitar riff and nostalgic lyrics about how tough he had it.
