Chris Christie must be so jealous. He tried to win Bruces affection while he was Governor . . .

have doubled, and tripled *joy*, and have helped us through shouldering burdens, and going through hard times!
You truly deserved this.
He and E St have been one of my favorites, and gotten to see him, and them many times. Even three times in a theater including a 50$ scalper's tix (Tix were ?$5.50, $7.50 something back then) in the fourth row!
Another time during the Human Touch and companion albums I went to hear him from outside Shea Stdm. Someone left the show not quite halfway through, and gave me their ticket!

And I like Manfred Mann's version of Blinded By the Light.

(18,691 posts)I vaguely recall some underserving sap getting a presidential medal, but that's about it. Certainly nothing concerning the arts.
Does anyone else remember anything?
I just read in Rolling Stone that he sponsored more federal executions than anyone since 1953 without one communed sentence, so I guess there's that.
