You couldn't avoid Bruce if you were out and about in the 80s. I'd either see him at a bar or he's hop up and play a song or two with the band. Headliner, Xanadu, Stone Pony.

I was a 18 and worked at 7-11 in Belmar, this musician used to come in on the weekends and brag how Bruce had a crush on his sister, I was like ok dude, whatever you say. That guy was Patty Scialfa's brother.

Fast forward to 2006, I belonged to the Atlantic club, lots of times I'd be lifting weights right next to Bruce. There was a hot redhead, the young mothers all loved him, but this one was all over him. I saw trouble, there was trouble, Bruce likes redheads!

My father grew up there, my Irish immigrant grandfather tended the famous Laura Harding's horses for 20 years on what is now Bayonet Farms, her best friend was Katherine Hepburn and my dad would take them for carriage rides when he was a teen.

When my dad was a kid they lived next to the kennels at Brookdale farms, now the college and Thompson Park. Ok ok, some of that is officially Holmdel and western Lincroft, but we considered the area Colts Neck/Holmdel.

As a kid I fantasized that Ms Harding would leave us a million dollars in her will, I was a dumb kid!
