September 23rd is Now “Bruce Springsteen Day” in New Jersey

Meantime, in New Jersey:
Bruce Springsteen is one of the most iconic and influential musicians – and New Jerseyans – of all time, period.

To celebrate the annual “Bruce Springsteen Day,” Governor Murphy has asked all New Jerseyans to mumble and grunt into a microphone for four hours. Make sure you bury the guitar and bass in the mix so that we can hear the keys and the horn section loud and clear. ROCK AND ROLL!
September 23rd is now the worst day of the year in New Jersey.
