“And I look at my work life as a very small link in a mighty chain”
– Bruce Springsteen
“Bon Jovi and Springsteen, two Jersey-born totems of American rock, are not often on the same stage together. Their performance (with added hype from Flavor Flav of Public Enemy) amounted to a proclamation of New Jersey’s vital place in music history while also demonstrating the chip-on-the-shoulder spirit that has animated American musical movements from soul to punk, from hip-hop to bar-band rock.”
– Nick Corasiniti, New York Times
“They want an encore. Michael Gould and son Michael Gould Jr. from Yardley, Pennsylvania were first in line Saturday, June 13 at the public opening of the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music on the campus of Monmouth University in Long Branch. They weren’t done after more than three hours.”
– Chris Jordan, Asbury Park Press
