Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie: NJ Governor Wants Boss to Play Casino

The governor made the plea Tuesday during a tour of the new casino, which opens Monday. The facility wouldn't have been finished without state tax incentives.
The governor views Revel as the centerpiece of an effort to revive the fortunes of Atlantic City, where the casino business has been on a long downward spiral.
Christie has seen Springsteen perform more than 100 times and says he has already lost out to Beyonce for the chance to headline at Revel's grand opening Memorial Day weekend. He says Springsteen could still show his support for New Jersey by performing there during Labor Day weekend.
A publicist for Springsteen, whose catalog includes a song titled "Atlantic City," declined comment.
The resort says it would love to have Springsteen, if he's up for it.

The fact that that fat bastard asked would be enough reason to say no. On the other hand, the people and businesses of Atlantic City have it hard enough with business off and that turd Christie in the State House.

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via http://www.agelessdate.com/ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.
