"The Boss" Spotted at the Manasquan Inlet
The Boss always makes his way down the Shore, regardless of the season.
Bruce Springsteen was sighted on Monday at the Manasquan Inlet, a Jersey Shore canal that connects Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach and which he has visited since he was a boy.
Springsteen, dressed warmly in a winter coat, posed for a photo with Art Sarzen, a giddy Sea Girt devotee.
Springsteen, 72, resides in Colts Neck, which is roughly 25 minutes from Manasquan without traffic, a straight shot down Route 34, and has visited the Shore town on a regular basis for much of his life.
This past summer, he was seen in a neighborhood clothes store. He got his first drink at The Osprey on 1st Avenue half a century ago.
He used to sit with his father at the inlet as a kid, watching boats come in from the Atlantic Ocean.
Springsteen used to stroll out onto the jetty and "stare out into the pitch-black darkness of the Atlantic... we'd listen to the ocean waves slamming rhythmically on the coast far behind us," according to his book "Born to Run," published in 2016.
