Christie is a devoted Springsteen fan, and has reportedly seen him well over 100 times. But as Jeffrey Goldberg reported in the Atlantic in 2012, when he attended a Springsteen show with Christie, he is always ignored: "At concerts, even concerts in club-size venues—the Stone Pony, in Asbury Park, most recently—Springsteen won't acknowledge the governor. When Christie leaves a Springsteen concert in a large arena, his state troopers move him to his motorcade through loading docks. He walks within feet of the stage, and of the dressing rooms. He's never been invited to say hello. On occasion, he'll make a public plea to Springsteen, as he did earlier this spring, when Christie asked him to play at a new casino in Atlantic City. 'He says he's for the revitalisation of the Jersey Shore, so this seems obvious,' Christie told me. I asked him if he's received a response to his request. 'No, we got nothing back from them,' he said unhappily, 'not even a "Fuck you."'
