Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the state hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy, is probably Bruce Springsteen’s biggest fan – he has seen “The Boss” in concert more than 130 times. But Springsteen, Jersey’s favorite son, has ignored the Republican governor until recently. Last Friday at a benefit to raise money for the victims of Sandy, Springsteen hugged Governor Christie and said (according to Christie), “It’s official, we’re friends,” which moved Christie to tears.
