Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie Remain Friends Despite Concert Incident

You probably saw that video of Bruce Springsteen appearing to ignore Chris Christie at a recent concert, with the former governor dejected that the Boss didn’t give him a high five while doing some “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” crowdwork. An entire news cycle followed about the alleged snub, and it’s now become enough of a “thing” that Springsteen’s manager, Jon Landau, gave a comment to Rolling Stone about it. The short version: These two gentlemen are good friends despite their respective political history. But to enhance your reading experience, visualize Landau as Jeremy Strong and his tinted frames in Deliver Me From Nowhere. “Current stories claiming a break in the friendship between Bruce and Chris Christie are absurd,” he said. “We’ve all been friends for years, Chris was attending his 180th show, standing at the side of the stage as our guest. And we hope to see him at our next 180 shows, as our guest. Period.” Christie even posted a photo of the duo embracing after the concert, proving that being from New Jersey is thicker than water.
