While speaking at a
briefing on storm recovery Monday, Christie disclosed that he'd unexpectedly
spoken to Springsteen earlier in the day, when Obama, during a phone call to
discuss Sandy-related matters, handed the phone to "The Boss," who
was traveling with the president on a campaign trip.
Christie also said he
got a hug from Springsteen at Friday's (November 2nd) benefit concert for storm
victims and that he cried at home after meeting his idol, saying it was a major
highlight of a tough week.
Christie hasn't made a secret of how big a fan he is of
Springsteen, saying that he's attended more than 100 of his concerts. But the
politically liberal Springsteen had never previously acknowledged the
Republican governor.
